Western Railroad Discussion > Little Rock & Western Q

Gents,

I am doing some planning for a future trip. When I searched through The Diesel Shop webpages on some southern shortlines, I got answers that I suspect are out of date. One of them is the roster for the LRWN. It shows four locomotives, including two Alco C420s. Knowing that Genessee & Wyoming has owned this railroad for five years and that the webpage is also about five years old, I suspect that what they actually roster is different. Can someone clarify? (And if it's still Alcos, I'm there!)

Bob, they have 2 end cab switchers in orange/black/yellow and a GP9.

What became of the Alcos? Parts units for the A&M?

LRWN 102 (Alco) was donated to the Arkansas Railroad Museum in Pine Bluff. LRWN 101 was parted out and scrapped at some point.

LRWN 102 is owned by Vintage Locomotives (VLIX). She was seen sunning herself yesterday during the AR RR Museum open house.
