Nostalgia & History > F unit Friday on FEC 2007Date: 07/15/16 04:15 F unit Friday on FEC 2007 Author: acltrainman I had quite a surprise on 07/14/ 2007 when visiting the FEC New Smyrna Beach shops to find this FL-9 in AMTK paint. I think it might have had FEC on the unit even, shots don't show it though.

It's there, just hard to see right above the number on the side between the two round windows. Mr. MRL Date: 07/15/16 06:07 Re: F unit Friday on FEC 2007 Author: RNP47 Hmmm....
Interesting unit... Not the standard Bloomberg trucks Wonder if those trucks are for third rail pick up? I can't see the rear trucks well enough to see... Date: 07/15/16 06:25 Re: F unit Friday on FEC 2007 Author: DavidP RNP47 Wrote:

Yes, they had third rail shoes on the forward Flexicoil B truck. The rear truck was an A-1-A Flexicoil.

Here is a shot of the train in Eastman, Qc in September 2013.
