Eastern Railroad Discussion > The L&C in transition

Paid a visit to the Lancaster and Chester RR on my southern swing the other week. Although not being much to look at, I was hoping to catch the pair of "new" former CSX/CR SD60M's running before they receive the G&O colors. Caught up with the 8770/8782 pair working some industries around Richburg, SC on 10-22-2020. After that chore was finished they ran lite to Fort Lawn to grab the prior day's freight train that had the L&C painted 6002/9146 duo. That made for a nice "transition era" locomotive consist with the two 60M's and the two blues. As luck would have it, they switched the power around while working Jones-Hamilton making the 6002 set the leader for the remainder of the run. I was happy to catch the blue set leading as that 6002/9146 set has been in and out of storage lately.

Great bunch Roger.  You got some excellent light too.  It seems half the time I go after shortlines the trains are running right out of the sun.  I guess I just have to be more thorough with my research.

Great job. The tunnel motor and slug were in storage on my last 2 visits, most recently 4 weeks ago.

You had a very productive trip to SC. Good weather and consists!

Nice consist and very nice shots!

Now I'm jealous:)

That's an attractive SD40T-2 and GE in a blue that evokes Conrail in South Carolina.

Great set of photos,

Rich

Thanks ! That GE is actually a slug with the T-motor being the mother

There are those of us who remember the L&C as a scenic little shortline with end cab switchers, yikes!

Out 

Great pics!!

A tunnel motor without dynamic brakes just looks wrong.

Thanks for posting.

Superb images my friend!! My favorite is number three. Looks like a promo shot for the railroad. You should do a calendar for them.

A visit to the L&C is apparently "a buck well spent.*

Nicely played, and the only company of its kind to advertise in Trains.
