NS 309 To Pickup 4 FEX Units At GE In Erie

FEX 4690, 4691, 4692, 4693 all to be picked up by NS 309 tonight at GE in Erie.

Who or what railroad is "FEX?"

I'm guessing these units are for KCS or the KCS subsidiary in Mexico. The dispatcher said FEX....he probably doesn't know and doesn't care, as long as NS 309 picked them up.

Probilly supposed to be FXE, Ferromex.

I saw these units go by yesterday afternoon in Hammond, IN. As luck would have it there was another train passing by at the same time and I was on the wrong side of the tracks. These units should be making their way thru Chicago by now.

KCS owes NS power hours, lots of hours. The units are being put in service in Bellevue Ohio and run out as power
