MEC 7523 Leads L053 at Royal Junction
Title:  MEC 7523 Leads L053 at Royal Junction
Description:  CSX local L053 with a pair of MEC lettered C40-8's makes good time west from Leeds Junction with a decent sized train of mostly loads from the Rumford Branch. They are seen exiting what was once MEC's Back Road, now CPF-185 of the Freight Main, although soon to change once CSX's new timetable eventually goes into effect. The new change in operation in handling the Rumford traffic has resulted in some nice photo opportunities as there are two locals; L054 which mostly stays on the Rumford Branch and L053, which sort of acts as a transfer run carrying traffic between Rigby and Danville and/or Leeds, both locals running in daylight hours. Power and consist is MEC 7523 - MEC 7594 and about 45 cars.

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.
