FXE 4856
A 2 month old ES44AC leads a heavy Quimico Veracruz-Romo with 100+ cars in tow and 2 AC unit tacked in the middle.
This batch of 30 new ES44AC are being delivered from Wabtec's plant in Ft Worth just with primer applied on the carbody and the entire underframe black, as FXE needed them ASAP. The plans to paint them was supposed to be 2025 but for some reason FXE decided to speed up the painting process, with 90% of the 4850's and half of the 4860's already wearing the Zebra coat, hopefully I'll be able to snag some 4870's in primer grey before they get shopped.
It's great seeing FXE finally do a smart decision and buy more ES44's.
