Scott Ridenhour got the first L&C shot into the database, former Conrail SW1200, then L&C #93.
[photoid=18333]
The L&C was getting busier and six or seven end cab lash ups were common.
[photoid=34740]
So next came three LLPX leasors, former IC GP40s downgraded to GP38-2s.
[photoid=48895]
Followed by two HLCX units.
[photoid=39558]
Inexplicably, LLPX took the nicely painted GP38-2s back and replaced with unrebuilt GP38s.
[photoid=68088]
But still multiple lash ups of EMDs were common.
[photoid=90635]
[photoid=101784]
Meanwhile, L&C bought the two HLCX units.
[photoid=95006]
And a little bit of a trip up north, a former L&C unit was back wearing her original lettering.
[photoid=134290]
[photoid=143652]
GMTX came around with four rebuilt GP38-2s in place of the ragged LLPX GP38s.
[photoid=157247]
Finally, the L&C painted the ex-HLCX units.
[photoid=254030]
First, they ran around half naked without lettering. Then, they got the decals and applied them to both former HLCX units as well as ex-CN/GTW now LC 3820.
[photoid=263251]
LC 3820 had been RTEX 4995 and was caught here in really nice ex-CN paint.
[photoid=220882]
[photoid=279313]
Meanwhile, what we heard was coming actually came. They began ridding their fleet of end cabs, sending four to RTEX and one to Progress Rail.
[photoid=286902]
LC 92 wound up in full lettering down in Alabama.
[photoid=285834]
Two of them that remained were painted into the old L&C two tone grey and blue.
[photoid=277384]
[photoid=280127]
A fuller trip down memory lane later could include shots from RRPA and Flickr.
