new paint scheme seen in the wild

Spotted a note on one of the other rail transport boards today about a new paint scheme for Pan Am Railways.

Is there a Wikipedian in the area who can get and upload a free image for us? Slambo (Speak) 18:04, 5 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'll try to get a photo ASAP. I've been trying to get photos of the first two units in Pan Am paint -- 505 and 511 -- but there's always been some obstructing object in the way, or bad lighting, or both. The shot of the Pan Am boxcar was the best I've been able to come up with so far. Hopefully in the near future I'll encounter the 506 and have my camera with me. —BMRR (talk) 22:49, 5 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Still haven't seen it in person, but Rod Bushway posted a shot on RailPictures.Net:

307 has recently emerged in the new paint scheme, as seen here

Shame they couldn't take the time to touch up the numberboards.

Well, I still haven't caught the units in the dark blue "retro" Pan Am paint, but I finally caught the 505 and the 511 -- the two units in the "modern" Pan Am livery. Only took me three years to lens 'em! The photo is rather poor due to the distance and the angle, but I suppose it's better than nothing, so I added it to the article.

—BMRR (talk) 22:53, 27 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Today I finally caught two of the "retro" units. Crappy (but better than nothing) photo added to the article. —BMRR (talk) 01:08, 9 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Aircraft owned by Pan Am Railways

Does anyone know what PAR is going to do with all the Boeing 727s and British Areospace J31s that the FAA has registered to them after the fall Pan Am "Clipper Connection"? Are they in storage or are they leasing them out? Are they producing any income for PAR? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mrebstad (talk • contribs) 22:07, Aug 18, 2007

This is the first I've heard of it, in regards to the aircraft being transferred from the airline to the railroad. Do you have a source for this -- e.g. web site link, news article, etc.?

Delaware and Hudson

This article mentions that the Delaware and Hudson Railroad was purchaced by GTI (now PanAm), and although I have heard this from multiple people, there is no reference cited, and the article for the D&H has no mention of this, instead saying that the D&H is a subsidiary of Canadian National. Also in the photo of the Pan Am Headquarters, the sign shows four railroads operated by Pan Am, and the D&H is not listed there.
