NYSW SD70M's Changing Home Again
NYSW SD70M's Changing Home Again
I&O has dealt them to Florida East Coast in exchange for some FEC SD40-2's. For anyone who didn't know, these were on long-term lease to the Indiana & Ohio Ry. after spending little time with their home road, the Susie Q.
This should provide them with some much needed sun and warmth after many long cold winters here in Ohio.

The 4052 made its first revenue run on the FEC Today - 12/23
Re: NYSW SD70M's Changing Home Again
So they're finally there... only about 7 months after I said it wouldn't be too long now... Oh well, I'm used to being wrong I suppose. Glad I got shots of them while they were here.
Now, to get those FEC SD40-2's! Does anyone know if they're here yet, or is FEC gonna pull an I&O and wait a year?

A handful of FEC SD40-2s have gone to the AGR and NECR, but don't look for any on the I&O anytime soon (if ever). Current management seems to think we're overpowered right now as it is. FWIW, I haven't seen the 4050 or 4054 in quite some time. The 400/401 trains have been running with SD40-2 pairs for the most part, with the odd GP38-2 thrown in.
