A few afternoon minutes in North Bennington saw the interchange between the PanAm Southern and the Vermont Railway.

SAPI3 is seen crossing the Martin Stream as it runs along the Kennebec River to Waterville.

Shortly after departing Sappi North America, MEC 380 leads SAPI3 across Hwy 201 just north of Hinckley, ME.

MEC 380 leads a local back to Waterville Yard. After this run the 380 would be bad ordered.
