Eastern Railroad Discussion > 8 FEC and 14 Roy Hill units at Erie todayDate: 11/25/14 15:05 8 FEC and 14 Roy Hill units at Erie today Author: FEC2000 I caught the eight FEC units and 14 of the Roy Hill units ready to ship out of GE at Erie, PA. The Roy Hill units are headed for Australia and are under tarps. The eight painted FEC's will head out on CSX and the 14 Roy Hill's on NS with a buffer gondola at each end.
Probably will never see 8 FEC GEVOs together again once they hit Florida! Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 11/25/14 15:09 by FEC2000.    Date: 11/25/14 15:08 Re: 8 FEC and 14 Roy Hill units at Erie today Author: FEC2000 Roy Hill Western ES44Ci(HH) under tarps on the NS side. I'm pretty sure this completes the 14 unit order.
   Date: 11/25/14 15:17 Re: 8 FEC and 14 Roy Hill units at Erie today Author: FEC2000 Tarp data and more Vale green GE's on flat cars awaiting final inspection before shipping. The Vale units are either 9-40BBW or ES58ACi units.
