1. 30T comes south with CN 8959 (SD70M-2) and 2682 (C44-9W) leading at Alplaus Road about to enter Mohawk Yard (Glenville, NY)

2. The going away view.

3. CP 2229 (GP20C-ECO) is on the D40 leaving Mohawk Yard to go back to Saratoga. He's met with the NS 30T and the NS 22K is on his heels.

Very nice documentation! Hopefully, in the not too distant future now that Pan Am appears to officially be up for sale by Tim Mellon, the crappy PAS stick rail track in your photo #6 will be rehabbed to look like the CP track in you photo #4. Also, perhaps one won't be able to catch a photo of a 22K (the hottest train on PAS) tied down at Ferry St for hours waiting on a Pan Am crew to slog eastward for 150 or miles arriving at Ayer by 0600 give or take.
