An inexpensive EOT for your freight trains.

So that is what the hole is for.  First time I have ever seen one in use.

Legal from sunrise to sunset on short freights. Usually a couple dozen or so cars in our area. Not a lot of traffic in my area for the Pan Am. Don't know if this is normal for other railroads.
This is the Pan Am Railway in Massachusetts.
I recently saw longer Pan Am freights up in Old Orchard Beach in Maine that used the standard EOT/FRED.
But some places Pan Am runs, they share the tracks with Amtrak. Not so in my immediate area but that with change in the near future as double track for Amtrak is in the works for our area.
For those who do not know, Pam Am Railways use to be Guilford Rail Systems until Guilford bought the old Pan American World Airways logo.
