FEC 651
Title:  FEC 651
Description:  Feels good to be able to type that & mean it! Still reports as FEC, even tho' it has been part of Rinker's fleet for quite a while. It was sent up from their Miami operation to replace the ALCo that has a broken axle & won't be repaired.

FEC 651
Title:  FEC 651
Description:  You can take the GP9 out of FEC, but you can't always take the FEC out of GP9. "Coming Around Again" or "Coming Home" best describes this veteran. Purged from the FEC roster years ago, it has come "home" to Rinker's Bowden facility to replace the ALCo that went down with a broken axle. FEC's Bowden Yard connects with Rinker behind me.
