On a dreary gray morning Pan Am train AYPO with a C40-8, SD40-2, C40-8 trio is eastbound at MP 305 on Pan Am's freight mainline, the former Boston and Maine Stony Brook branch. After having to set out 37 cars from the middle of their train back on the second main at CP4306 they are finally back on the move approaching the School Street crossing. But not for long, as they won't even make Lowell before going into emergency near CPF WA only five miles ahead and have to make an unscheduled stop to set out of one boxcar before finally continuing on without further delays to Portland.

Portland developed a reputation early on in its history as a hard-edged and gritty port town. Some historians have described the city's early establishment as being a "scion of New England; an ends-of-the-earth home for the exiled spawn of the eastern established elite." In 1889, The Oregonian called Portland "the most filthy city in the Northern States," due to the unsanitary sewers and gutters, and, at the turn of the 20th century, it was considered one of the most dangerous port cities in the world.
