Very nice set indeed. Thanks for posting them.

FEC certainly likes diversity in their paint schemes. Do they denote anything special about the railroad?

I like photo #2 with #429 long hood forward.

As it appears to me, they've settled on the retro "Champion" (red/yellow) scheme for road power and the solid blue for yard/local power, although the latter obviously get some road assignments as well. I favor the lighter blue they were using for a while with the "art deco" lettering but apparently they've gone back to the darker shade with the more modern lettering - I don't think that denotes anything in particular.

A few of the ex-UP SD40-2s still wear modified UP colors. Seven wear the Champion colors and I'd be perfectly fine with all the remaining ones getting the same treatment, but for the time being at least that has stopped.

The two "Pink Lady" GP40-2s are in honor of the Susan G. Komen Foundation - breast cancer research and awareness. Analagous to the pink-ribbon engine on Union Pacific.
