Eastern Railroad Discussion > FEC deliveries on CSX Q35725

For those who are keeping tabs on the FEC units, the 8 that were on the CSX-GE interchange in Erie, Pa earlier today were picked up by the Q35725. The train is now doing it's work in Ashtabula, Ohio as of 0053 EST (11/26). This train is usually called around 0600 or so in Collinwood (Cleveland), Ohio and reaches Berea and points west in daylight.

Thanks

Is there any chance they could end up on the "A" line
and head south to Florida that way? I ask because I don't
know all the routes, symbols, etc like most on here. Thanks!

Thanks for the update. Does Q357 still terminate in Willard?

Highly unlikely.

Lagrange/Wellington at 9:25, moving fast.

Report from field: Just by New London, about to join the Willard Conga Line (TM) at Greenwich.

On the scene at Willard , behind Q353 it sounds like if anyone can confirm I'd appreciate it.

No. I'm not out there, was just relaying report from the field and the field reporter didn't see Q381.

FEC is lucky these units weren't shipped by way of PanAm Railways.

Start out with eight new units, they'd be lucky to have any delivered to the next railroad along the chain. PanAm has a habit of borrowing power that shows up on run-thru etc jobs.

808 was left behind at Erie for unknown reasons.

Edit: Reported to have air brake issues.
