Eastern Railroad Discussion > FL: FEC's home made power carDate: 01/04/19 10:36 FL: FEC's home made power car Author: Lackawanna484 Florida East Coast has at least two business cars which are frequently called on for shipper specials, Santa specials, etc. Here's a 2015 picture of the home made power car, and the two office cars. The power car is an electric generator unit, and a fuel tank.

Good Idea. Michael Date: 01/05/19 08:17 Re: FL: FEC's home made power car Author: SD45X Maybe, but still ugly.
