Good Day,

 

I hope they leave the FEC color scheme as is.

Which one, the blue/yelow or red white and blue?  or both maybe??  I have to admit I do like the orange and black scheme.  My MTH Buffalo & Pittsburgh engines are one of my favorites.

 

Incidentally, here's an interesting Forum coincidence.  Community member #58 responding to a post by Community Member # 57!!!!!  How often has that happened I wonder??!!   

More HORRID orange paint but a better run company.

I went to the FEC website and it mentioned nothing about RailAmerica. I went to the RailAmerica website and it mentioned nothing about FEC. I remember when the deal went down a couple years ago, what's going on here? I think it would be bad business for the FEC to be forced to change its logo/colors. It's history and performance sets it apart from all other RRs. On the other hand. FEC already has five different paint schemes currently on the rails, what's one more.

any Heritage units announced

Regarding the FEC, they are no longer owned by RailAmerica. I don't remember when this happened, but it was within the last 12 months as near as I can recall--- just checked wikipedia-- the FEC is owned by Fortress Investment group. They owned RailAmerica, and Railamerica ran the FEC for a time, but did not own it. Fortress dumped RailAmerica, kept the FEC.  hope this clears up the confusion---
