John Date: 09/14/14 17:32 Re: Florida East Coast ES44C4's on the floor at GE Erie Author: FL9 Neat! Has FEC assigned a number series for these yet?
Date: 09/14/14 17:35 Re: Florida East Coast ES44C4's on the floor at GE Erie Author: rbenko Ug - more GE widecabs. The Champion paint scheme on them is like putting lipstick on a pig...

Date: 09/14/14 17:52 Re: Florida East Coast ES44C4's on the floor at GE Erie Author: fatnrat I guess they can't afford to have both SD70M-2s and ES44C4s.

Like others though I'm certainly curious how they'll number them.

Maybe they'll have digital control and sound?

Can't wait to see 'em running through St Augustine! Danny Harmon Tampa Date: 09/15/14 06:23 Re: Florida East Coast ES44C4's on the floor at GE Erie Author: fwwr5007 Will all the ES44s for FEC be built at Erie, or will any be built in Fort Worth?
Date: 09/15/14 09:19 Re: Florida East Coast ES44C4's on the floor at GE Erie Author: FEC2000 All are coming from the Erie plant.

 Date: 09/16/14 10:31 Re: Florida East Coast ES44C4's on the floor at GE Erie Author: GTWMISteve Sorry but I guess I do not understand why FEC is getting rid of the SD70M-2s. CN and NS seem to like them.
Posted from Android Date: 09/16/14 10:34 Re: Florida East Coast ES44C4's on the floor at GE Erie Author: PeaBock619 I have a feeling one of the railroads will grab the SD70M-2s once FEC disposes of them.
