Eastern Railroad Discussion > FEC's new ES44C4 #802 on the GE Erie test trackDate: 10/29/14 19:35 FEC's new ES44C4 #802 on the GE Erie test track Author: FEC2000 Last Friday I got a heads up that a FEC GE was on the test track at GE in Erie, PA. I found the 802 out with three CN units and one GE demo. The 802-803 should depart Erie late this week or early next. A handful of the new FEC units will be headed to Kansas City for final painting as the GE paint shop at Erie is backed up. I also saw the 800 on the test track in primer, but was unable to snag a photo of it. The FEC officials are at Erie this week to do final inspections on the units that are completed. Look for up to 4 deliveries this month, more like 2, 12 in November and the final 10 in December.
Enjoy the photos! FEC is about to change forever!    Date: 10/29/14 19:38 Re: FEC's new ES44C4 #802 on the GE Erie test track Author: FEC2000 more

It looks out of place on a very good paint scheme.

In photo #8, where the train is passing over the road, is that the Erie Canal to the right behind the concrete wall? Probably not, but I'm wondering... Date: 10/30/14 03:39 Re: FEC's new ES44C4 #802 on the GE Erie test track Author: agrafton Awesome photos, great color scheme!!!

Its funny how close they were with the painting on it. Can't wait to see how they turn out, I might just have to get one as my father loved the FEC.
