FEC has been bought out by "Fail"America,and that being said means they bought a few more SD70M-2s in a catchy(some don't like it) paint scheme.According to another railfan said that a leaser(EX-NYSW-Q) SD70M is being tested,and once the testing is done,four SD70Ms will replace four GP40-(2)s on the roster.

I was figuring the FEC was gonna get bought.  Now the large wheel of unfortune is probably turning towards the Montana Rail Link. |

Some people don't like the Red, White, & Blue paint scheme, but I certainly do like it. And in my thoughts, I bet half the people wouldn't hate the paint scheme if FEC came up with it and not RA (if RA hadn't bought them).

As I said on another board... Yes, Susie-Q's SD70Ms are going even farther from home to run on the FEC... The sad part is that NYSW is likely making more money off of the lease payments from those 3 SD70Ms than the railroad itself is making...  >>MC |

I saw a video of a FEC SD70M-2 in the Red White and Blue Scheme.
It said Florida East Coast. Is Rail America going to keep on some of the locomotives FEC Lettering or are all of them going to say Rail America?

Yeah, but the rumor is that unit is supposed to be relettered into FEC in the near future.
