Talk:Pan Am Railways

message: 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 is the first I've heard of it, in regards to the aircraft being transferred from the airline to the railroad. Do you have a source for this -- e.g. web site link, news article, etc.?

message: 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

thread_title:  Pan Am Systems and CSX 

message: 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.

thread_title:  Locomotive roster table 

message: 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?

replies: text: As of 4 pm today the entity Pan Am Railways Inc. is still listed as an active Corporation in Delaware and as an active Foreign Corporation in the Massachusetts.FFM784 (talk) 20:54, 2 June 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Every source I can find indicated PAR was merged into CSX. See   . Trainsandotherthings (talk) 21:02, 2 June 2022 (UTC)

text: You misunderstand. I'm well aware CSX purchased Pan Am. The confusion is whether Pan Am still exists as a company, or was merged into CSX with the purchase and no longer retains its corporate identity. Trainsandotherthings (talk) 21:12, 3 June 2022 (UTC)
