This engine was dead and had a tarp over the exhaust stack, not a good sign. |

| Description: |
A nice catch for late 2008, a former Penn Central GP38 leads a veteran GP35 on the northrunner. If you look carefully, you can see a derailed hopper at the end of the train. Its been sitting there for a few days now. |

I caught this unit back in the summer trailing an SD75 at the diesel shops. Its still at work while it is about 40 years old. |

| Description: |
Who'd ever think that a railroad would buy an airline, and then take its name? Well it happened, and I really like how this boxcar looks with the Pan Am logo. |
