Ronbo, my father in law was head of the communications dept. on the FEC his office was in New Smyrna Beach. He retired in the mid 80's. I wonder if you ever met him since you did work for them.

Only really worked with the mechanics that maintained the cars. The president's car was quite nice even though it was built in the 40's I think. The phone was a Motorola IMTS (pre-cellular days) and was leased through Southern Bell. They would dispatch us to repair the handfull of lease units in the area and we would bill Bell directly for the work.

Yep, FEC has a big fancy building on A1A in St. Augustine, I think it was also built in the 40's. There's another fancy building in downtown Jax that I think was built for Norfalk-Southern. (lots of brass, oak and marble)
