Pan Am to CSX Transition
Title:  Pan Am to CSX Transition
Description:  As the even shadows grow across the field, the golden light illuminates MEC 7523; a former CSX C40-8 now in Pan Am "bluedip" paint and CSXT 483, a regular visitor here due to having ACSES installed for MBTA territory. Time will tell how long the Pan Am paint sticks around, but I'm happy at least a portion of Pan Am's era of GE locomotives got to wear it! Seen at CSX's Rigby Yard.
