FL: GP40-2 414 in the Grupo Mexico scheme
Author: Lackawanna484

414 is currently assigned to the work train detail, hauling ballast and ties etc to the worksites in the Stuart area.  I've seen it before, but I was surprised at how blue it looked today. It had appeared to be a very dark blue, almost black color when I saw it earlier.

Is this going to be the "NEW LOOK" FEC? That nose logo and the logo on the long hood are kinda hard to make out the FEC, but with a little imagining one can see it. Thanks for sharing. Ben

So far, only two units have been repainted, as far as I know.

FEC should use the colors of tropical drinks to support sunny Florida.  Maybe paint a drink umbrella on the nose.

I have to ask if this was one of the Breast Cancer awareness units?

No. Those are FEC425 and FEC436.

I thought that, too, but after looking at it for a while, I could finally see it.  Looks good as a nose logo.

I'm not a fan, but I think it could be improved by either creating a break between the "F" and the "E", putting a small square in the lower left corner to represent a stem on the "F", or both.
