Rare AY-R Job Turning the Power at Ayer

A rare AY-R job took a break from working the auto racks at Sanvel for this run downtown to turn the power: NS 4162 (AC44C6M), NS 9529 (Dash 9-44CW), and NS 6952 (SD60E). After turning the SD60E was in position to lead ED-9 west when it was ready. A local who listens to his scanner a lot told me he had not heard an AY-R Relief crew symbol used for 5 years or more.
<BR>I am not sure whether PAS technically still exists to be credited with operating this job, but I'm placing it there for now anyhow.

Visitor Comments about this Photo:

PAS LLC will continue to exist as owner of the property at least as long as CSX (or a successor party should CSX sell its stake) and NS jointly own it. PAS trains, like CSX/Pan Am Railways trains east of CPF-312 Littleton continue to use crews operating under Springfield Terminal labor agreements. Once G&W/B&E have successfully negotiated with ST crews to sign a new labor agreement, PAS crews will then be B&E employees. Similarly, ST personnel on-boarded by CSX for east of CPF-312 will eventually have to agree to CSX labor agreement. Completion date for this transition is not certain...
