With the short days of winter really starting to set in, POED has usually been running under darkness in my parts. However, driving a little ways would increase my chances of better light, so when I heard POED would have 2 3400-series SD40-2's, I knew this was an opportunity I couldn't pass up, as Pan Am plans to eventually phase out all EMD power on the roster for GE's.
The EMD SD (special duty) series are a strong and reliable kind of locomotive which still serve America's rails today. They have proved themselves reliable by clocking in several million miles of freight service over several decades.
