After a second repaint in Pan Am colors and some other cosmetic fixes MEC 7542 leads POAY west at the Scarborough Marsh. This unit was painted again due to being chosen to run the Office Car Special in the PTC areas of Massachusetts since the FP9's don't have the equipment installed. This unit led WAPO down the night before and is now back to freight duties until the next time it is needed on the OCS. Trailing power on POAY is MEC 7643, MEC 7609 and MEC 7517. |
