Spotted a note on one of the other rail transport boards today about a new paint scheme for Pan Am Railways.
Is there a Wikipedian in the area who can get and upload a free image for us? Slambo (Speak) 18:04, 5 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Does anyone know what PAR is going to do with all the Boeing 727s and British Areospace J31s that the FAA has registered to them after the fall Pan Am "Clipper Connection"? Are they in storage or are they leasing them out? Are they producing any income for PAR? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mrebstad (talk • contribs) 22:07, Aug 19, 2008

This article mentions that the Delaware and Hudson Railroad was purchaced by GTI (now PanAm), and although I have heard this from multiple people, there is no reference cited, and the article for the D&H has no mention of this, instead saying that the D&H is a subsidiary of Canadian National. Also in the photo of the Pan Am Headquarters, the sign shows four railroads operated by Pan Am, and the D&H is not listed there. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Parcanman (talk • contribs) 15:13, 29 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The reports that indicate that CSX is purchasing Pan Am Railways from Pan Am Systems is not accurate. CSX is purchasing all of Pan Am Systems, here’s what it says on the STB revised report:
“Specifically, Systems would be merged with 747 Merger Sub 1, Inc., with Systems surviving. Immediately thereafter, Systems would be merged with 747 Merger Sub 2, with 747 Merger Sub 2 surviving and the separate corporate existence of Systems ceasing. 747 Merger Sub 2, as the surviving corporation, would be renamed Pan Am Systems, Inc., and would be a wholly owned subsidiary of CSXC. Concurrent with closing, CSXC would contribute Pan Am Systems, Inc., and all of its subsidiaries to CSXT. CSXT would thereafter control the rail carrier subsidiaries of Pan Am Systems, Inc., and at a future time yet to be determined, would merge those subsidiaries, except V&M, into CSXT.”
So CSX is purchasing Pan Am Systems and replaced it with a short lived new Pan Am Systems instead of just purchasing Pan Am Railways. Here’s the report I’m talking about- https://www.progressiverailroading.com/resources/editorial/2022/50875.pdf

Upon reflection, I agree with User:DavidWBrooks that the overly detailed tag isn't appropriate. This roster doesn't have giant blobs of text in the notes section with trivia as some rosters do. The heritage locomotives section has citations, but unfortunately only to self-published sources. We just need one or more reliable sources for the table and the heritage locomotives before the original research tag can be removed. I will see what I can find at some point; I have a long-term goal of getting all of Connecticut's railroad articles to GA status, which would include Pan Am Railways.

Everything I've found online indicates PAR has been absorbed by CSX, and no longer exists as a company. An editor changed the article today claiming without evidence that the company still exists. Is there any evidence in reliable sources to support this claim? Trainsandotherthings (talk) 18:43, 2 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It's announced on CSX's website Rcarvz (talk) 13:25, 3 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I am still thoroughly unconvinced that Pan Am Railways remains a company. From Railfan & Railroad: [4] “CSX is pleased that the STB approved the proposed acquisition of Pan Am and has recognized the significant benefits this transaction will bring to shippers and other New England stakeholders,” said CSX President and Chief Executive Officer James M. Foote. “We look forward to integrating Pan Am, their employees and the rail-served industries of the Northeast into CSX and to working in partnership with connecting railroads to provide exceptional supply chain solutions to New England and beyond.”" This obviously implies that Pan Am Railways is no more and was integrated into CSX. Therefore, the article should be "Pan Am Railways was...". Trainsandotherthings (talk) 01:23, 1 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
