FEC Engine & Fuel Tender in Saginaw, TX!

Not every day we see the Florida East Coast railway in Texas. Caught this engine and fuel tender moving past the Saginaw, Texas railcam a few days ago. For more information about this railcam and our other offerings, please visit www.railstream.net.

For anyone interested,they sound the same as a diesel powered unit.

GE transportation has a facility in Fort Worth, TX not as big as the one in Erie, Pa. It probably was getting repaired

@@fastcsx1412 you must be right I'm a Regional truck driver and yesterday I saw the FEC LNG unit outside of a town called Dequincy, La. It was in the siding facing west on KCS line that heads into Tx. U.P & KCS lines meet there and run southwest into Tx. & it was the same lashup

FEC owns 23 LNG/Diesel engines that slug holds the LNG.

Texas, how cool is that!!

[@jerseyrailbuff4147]

How and why did it end up all the way out there? Did it get tired of florida?

[@taslimchaudhry1431]

Excellent Video

Probably not a slug. FEC uses some Natural Gas powered locomotives. Link below is to "Railway Age" from Nov 2017 - lots of pictures of the LNG fuel tender. Sure looks like what is in the video....

👍👍👍👍

[@marryellen7713]

Why would a FEC engine need a fuel tender. There are no long distant runs in Florida. That is an expensive load.

[@marryellen7713]

It is one of the great catches of all time. Right place at
the right time.

[@joshdemus6056]

They run on LNG.

[@DeanoShook]

They run on LNG instead of diesel.
