My disclaimer: this is an experiment! My first upload. I used a digital camera in movie-mode, so the quality isn't the best, but I wanted to try it. So, apologies for the quality. I hope to get a REAL vid camera soon, so I can occasionally post Pan Am train vids.
I caught the train 11-09-09, at approx. 1:30 in the afternoon. The train has just left Rigby Yard in S. Portland, ME. It's heading south (or west), but I don't know the train nomenclature. The lead unit is HLCX SD-40-2 6318, along with Springfield Terminal SD-26 621. Downeaster trains 684 and 683 had just passed this location in the previous half-hour.
Railfanning here in Maine is spotty at best. Pan Am locomotives are almost always parked in front of the yard office at Rigby, but No Tresspassing signs are prominently posted at the yard entrance, so unless you choose to tresspass (I don't), or get permission, it's very difficult to get pics or vids at the yard. Waterville yard is better, but again, I wouldn't tresspass on RR property.

It seems that some of the locomotives have been repainted in the new Pan Am colors, but I still see plenty of Guilford paint up here.
