Pan Am @ Shirley, Ma.

Just as I pulled into Shirley I could hear the crossing bells go off and as I looked into my side view mirror I could see headlights. With no time to spare I pulled over at the twin oaks and was able to capture this. These Pan Am GE's are getting to be as scarce as Hens teeth.

Thanks for the status update. I don't get out that much these days so to catch one is rare for me.
