A pair of brand new FEC units await delivery, seen here on the CSX-GE interchange track. This will more than likely be these units' only encounter with snow.

The sun is beginning to set on the FEC and CITX SD70M-2s that have worked hard pulling freight up and down the Florida East Coast. With the brand new GE ES44C4s having made their maiden run on the... (more)

FEC SD70M-2 101 leads FEC 416, which is sporting the new blue paint scheme, south towards Miami with train 109 in tow. Scenes of SD70M-2s pulling FEC trains will soon be a thing of the past with ... (more)

...and the Florida East Coast was changed forever. One of many new GE ES44C4 locomotives that now belong to the FEC. Some may not be a fan of the new motive power, but no one can argue about the... (more)

And it begins! The day that many FEC fans and crews had been waiting for. Even FEC crews were out taking pictures (green vests) as the new ES44C4's made their maiden run.

They are finally here! A new era begins on the FEC as the very first of 24 ES44C4's take 101 out for the first time. Departing right on time at Bowden.

Rare compound of three different engine types and colours: SD70 FEC 101 in blue-yellow leading GP40 FEC 425 in blue-pink and SD40 FEC 711 in orange-yellow.

In about a month or two a shot like this on 226 will likely be impossible as all 24 ES44's should be here and in service. But for now I enjoy GP40-3's on an intermodal train.

Dual classics with a bit of help lead I think for the first time on 101, a string of Tropicana cars south.

Four locomotives landed on 226 today, seen here approaching the tidewater in St. Augustine. The Champion scheme is very popular with fans.

A double rarity, FEC 226 with two champs, with a long hood forward leader and about 4-5 hours late on the normally on time FEC. Suspect one motor failed and they had to swap.

Two big M's and an SD40-2 lead 101 through Colfax on a pleasant afternoon. The first 3 of the 24 GE's that will replace these motors are expected during the first week of November.
