They didn't copy Ferromex, FEC is owned by the same company who owns Ferromex. This led to them making the same generic paint scheme for both railroads.
yup, i was right in what i just said. GrupoMexico owned railroad that extracts Copper from the Toquepala & Cuajone mines in Southern Peru, and delivers them to the Ilo port, in Moquegua. Notable for having GE U23B & EMD standard cab SD70s, and being the only railroad in the entire country with working railroad crossing signals.
I've always liked the Ferromex paint scheme, and I think the new FEC one looks pretty good too. I just think it's a shame that we'll be loosing the unique livery on FEC and getting this new one that's so similar to the other.
LOL freaking bums. They wanna waste money on a new paint scheme, but they start their conductors out at $24.00 a hour. That’s freaking pathetic. Glad to see they have their priorities in line.
We're lucky to have FEC still even if its owned by a Mexican group. I am sad to see that they are going to differ from the real paint scheme but I'm sure it hits well with press.
Sometimes railroads just are forced *idk if they were forced tho* to make livery changes, like airlines did when they were kinda forced to change to a livery called the *eurowhite* which is basically the whole plane painted white, with the airline name on the side and the logo on the tail
I personally think the livery looks amazing on the Gevo's but shouldn't be used on the Geeps. FEC should keep a few engines in heritage blue and champion colors as well.
When it comes to the new paintscheme, I'm not sure what the designers were smoking, but they better stop. That new paintscheme is worse than terrible, to say the least. Do those light Blue/Green arrows glow in the dark too??? Change it back to the Champion colors!

Both fec and ferromex is owned by Groupo Mexico
Yes they standardized paint schemes
everyone remembers FEC & Ferromex
No one cares about the Southern Peru Copper

That paint scheme looks like it belongs on a google slides corporate presentation ngl.

It's better then I was expecting. But nothing will ever beat the champion livery
I can't say anything different.

Marketing Bruh!!
Great paint. Foamers can whine all they want to.
For those who don't know it, both Ferromex and FEC are owned by the same company, Grupo Mexico. It's no surprise the color schemes look similar.

Well 820 is now the first train I’ve driven. 811 is now the 2nd train I’ve driven and this is only day 4 lol
I don’t care what y’all say the scheme is 🔥🔥🔥
Looks ok with FXE
They didn't copy Ferromex They both owned by GroupMexico So thats why the paint is like that
The old one seems nice, but so does the new one, the colours work very well
What the heck Grupo Mexico? Why did you get rid of the famous Red and Yellow champion colors? The new paint doesnt look too bad though

Dang that looks pretty good

I will miss the old red and yellow but i wonder how it would look if they used the red and yellow from the old paint schemes
Looks cool
But isn't FEC first original colors are blue? Besides the red and yellow colors that came slightly later over the years I guess right?
i gotta be honest thats tuff af
its something new
and it looks super clean when mu'd
Hmmm It Looks Familiar But I Just Cant Think What It Looks Like... 🤔
Almost looks like a heritage paint scheme too
idk, it just looks so modern and new
It’s very uhhhh… latin inspired for sure
LOL funny. very nice Florida east cost heritage ?
Regardless, it’s clean AF
Grupo Mexico owns fec and feromex so makes sense.
Awesome capture my friend Like 👍🏻 And Greeting 🙋🏻
It was red and yellow but they paint the train blue
I agree it just looks like the 1970s fec i rather stick to normal fec today
Ngl it looks nice
I like it tbh

I Think It Looks Good
tbh, I really like this scheme! I like the old one too but this one more
Same Company,Same Type of Scheme💀
Oh yeah did you hear about FEC 430?
It’s a veterans unit now@@ChessieProductions1973
@@ChessieProductions1973 it got repainted into new Unit you can check community post i put it there
I kinda like it
just wait the sd-40-2 are NEXT
It's awesome paint scheme!
FEC It belongs to Ferromex or Mexican Railways
it's okay but it would be much better if the neon blue didn't stand out as much. nothing will beat the 'champion' design though
I still enjoy Florida Railroading even if times are changing. at least we have a 30 minute commuter!
Yeah They Ruined It but I still accept it as a locomotive to the Florida East coast.
yessir!
I like the color scheme
buddy wants to be ferromex so bad:sob::sob::sob:
This kinda looks like Ferrosur 4424.
Very epic lakey inspired 😎
Question is it a battery locomotive?
@@ChessieProductions1973 thank god
In my opinion its ok but it looks too sci fi for something like a gevo
Best new paint scheme ever bye-bye, champions scheme, piece of crap champion scheme
Thats not that bad it has that nice paint to it but im not dissatisfied
I think it looks cool! Just doesn’t fin FEC tho
Ferromex imitator.
Prefer the old one this ones to dark
Could be be worse
Who like the new color of the train
👇
TBH I mostly prefer this new paint scheme than the old one, it suits really well with the ES44AC 😎👍
it looks like a fucking toothbrush
EWEWEWEWEWEWEWEWEWEWEWEW
Yuck!
copyrighted ferromox
