Railpictures.ca - A.W.Mooney Photo: Co-incidentally exactly 15 years after my previous 1974 submission, we see LRC VIA 6921 as morning train #70 running eastbound. Photo is from the popular Railfans Walkbridge, as we call it. I was never a fan of these locomotives and took not all that many photos of them. This one I understand now resides in the Canadian Railway Museum, having been transferred there in 2004. | Railpictures.ca – Canadian Railway Photography

I hear ya Arnold. Not sure which was less interesting; LRC’s or RDC’s??!! Would love to go back and take some more shots of them; today’s variety is simply pitiful. This one is kinda special with a locomotive at each end. Do not recall seeing this as intended configuration very often (only one photo). To me, LRC locomotives were mostly noteworthy for what they were coupled to, and what they were pulling; much variety in coupled motive power and style of coach. Those were the days!
