Identity Crisis
Partly cloudy skies over western Mass enabled me to get sunny shots of the PAR manifest stuck in Tyters siding in Athol. Power for this train is three C40-8s acquired second-hand from CSX. Leading is MEC #7575, which avoided the notorious Pan Am "rainbow" of engines supposedly created by vandals.
Starting in 2017, Pan Am went on a Dash 8 shopping spree to replace its dilapidated fleet of EMDs. Since then, these Dash 8s have become the prevalent workhorse on Pan Am road freights. A few of them have already been repainted into PAR colors, but for now, we're stuck with these bastardized CSX motors.
