Eastern Railroad Discussion > Lancaster and Chester Railroad Day 3Date: 01/11/17 12:16 Lancaster and Chester Railroad Day 3 Author: trainman7774 Hello All,
Back in December I took a trip down south. Here's some photos from the third day of visiting of the Lancaster and Chester Railroad. These photos were taken on Tuesday December 13, 2016. Photos one, two and three show the Lancaster and Chester Railroad switching cars in Chester South Carolina. The MP15DC is labeled for the Norfolk and Portsmouth Belt Line. I am not sure if the L&C bought it or is leasing it. Hope you enjoy the photos. Chris Hughes Hillsborough, NJ Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 01/11/17 14:33 by trainman7774.

I hope you enjoyed my photos. Chris Hughes Hillsborough, NJ Date: 01/11/17 13:43 Re: Lancaster and Chester Railroad Day 3 Author: boejoe Have really enjoyed your photos the past couple days. Looks like you made the best of the weather. I always thought NPBL were reporting marks for Norfolk & Portsmouth Belt Line. I did a quick search of AAR and now they just show NPB. Anyhow, it's either a leased unit or not yet repainted - photos 1 & 2.

You are correct about the MP15DC being ex Norfolk and Portsmouth Belt Line. I must have misunderstood the information I heard. Chris Hughes Date: 01/11/17 17:34 Re: Lancaster and Chester Railroad Day 3 Author: NSDash9 trainman7774 Wrote:

That is former NS/SOU MP15DC 2369, which had been lettered for and used by the Norfolk Portsmouth Belt Line Railroad (NPBL). The NPBL is partially owned by Norfolk Southern. The 2369 was one of 76 units sold by NS in an auction at Roanoke, VA, in August of last year. It was sold to the Knoxville & Holston River RR, but delivered to the Lancaster & Chester RR. Chris Toth NSDash9.com Date: 01/11/17 22:21 Re: Lancaster and Chester Railroad Day 3 Author: joehinson The 2369 was one of several MP15 variants bought by Gulf & Ohio and divided between the L&C, Laurinburg & Southern and Knoxville & Holston River. In the past few week, they replaced the NPBL with LC and put a Springmaid logo on the end of the hood. When I get my car replaced, getting a shot of it is high on my list
