New Beginnings
On a chilly November I ventured out to Bartow, FL to get a look at Florida Central Railroad GP7u #57. FCEN 57 had just been repainted into a brand new SCL inspired paint scheme. The scheme looks identical to the SCL scheme, just with Florida Central lettering. Florida Central is starting to paint some if its newer units into this new scheme, to get away from the Pinsly red after Regional Rail bought out Pinsly's Florida Central, Florida Midland, and Florida Northern Railroads back in 2020. Two refurbished GP15-1s will also arrive to FCEN in this new SCL scheme in the near future. These new GP15's will replace aging CF-7 #50, and SW1200 #94. FCEN 94 was recently sold off to LOSX, and now carries the reporting mark "LOSX 150."
