The LRC locomotive was powered by an ALCO-MLW 251F prime mover and is to Canadian railroading what Buzz Aldrin was to space exploration... it's the second fastest train in Canadian railroading history! The LRC looked and sounded sharp at the head-end of a set of matching LRC coaches and LRC club cars. It could also be found heading up a wide variety of equipment, from VIA and ONR conventional steam-heated passenger cars to Amtrak's Amfleet and Horizon cars. The VIA LRC locomotive powered VIA trains in the Corridor and the joint VIA-ONR 'Northland' between Toronto and Kapuskasing, Ontario. It also powered the International using Amtrak and VIA equipment between Toronto and Chicago. The Amtrak LRC locomotive was used in the early 1980s on demonstration runs in the Northeast Corridor and in the Midwest. The last LRC unit was retired in 2001.
