FEC SD70M-2s to move

[E.M. Bell]

A good source has informed me that the first of the new SD70M-2's that EMD has released is enroute via the CN to VMV at Paducah KY for paint. Once VMV releases those, I would expect them to move to Louisville via the PAL, then to Jacksonville Fla via the NS.

Those units are supposed to have some sort of new FEC paint scheme, and should be a good catch. If anyone happens to see/hear those on the move on the NS, post a heads up for us!

FEC 100 & 101 to test on the PAL this week, then ship South to Jacksonville Fla via the NS.

Read on another list units painted in a scheme like the Alaska RR.Carbody blue with yellow stripe down the side with Florida East Coast spelled out in blue in the stripe.Undercarrige in silver.We'll see how it looks when they roll through!

The latest info has these units starting to move from VMV on Jan 6th. The rumor mill is in high gear, with folks saying they will move on CSX, but I am still guessing a NS routing South from Louisville, that is simply the quickest way!

  Let's see it!
