Intermountain FEC ES44C4 (ES44AC tooling) Video "Operations Review"

[brickbuilder711]

Hi all,

Here's a video of FEC Intermountain ES44C4s on the layout at Gold Coast Railroad Museum in Miami, FL

The idea of the video is to give more an operations perspective than a narrative as far as reviewing the locomotives.

Edit: I think this thread needs to be moved to either a Videos subforum or the HO forum. My bad

Enjoy!!

Nice video. Sure like the FEC colors compared to what they were in the 70's.

I'm curious why you made the comment "never sending multilevels here again".

Lol. I omitted a blooper which involved a sharp curve, where the automax fared a derailment. I reckon the intermodal cars didn't like that particular track anyway. This is some industrial main track inside the layout. They run quite well on the outer main.

@Chet Thanks!! Same here

I remember seeing some FEC cabooses stored at their shop at New Smyrna Beach. Strangely, they were blue, and I always had thought everything got painted blue after the strike began.

Here's a video of GEVOs doing as they do in real life, pulling the premier train for FEC
