Interesting.  IS the L&S also ex-Conrail?

Two of those ex-CR Super 7s reside here on the eastern shore on the DCL, #4024 and 4054 I believe. One was painted battleship gray when it moved that battleship cannon last year. One might be for sale too.

L&S uses the old Lehigh valley main from coxton to Wilkes Barre along the river
There engine shed is in Pittston Junction about 5 mins from my house tops
I took some photos of two of there engines at rest one day ill fish them out

I've never seen them run though so I'd be interested if your mechanic friends could provide a schedule for runs...Ill promise to get pictures:)

Russ, they do not have a webpage as far as I have ever seen. Its one of those places where there are only three or four people working there. Everybody does everything in their outfit. Good guys though. They have put some effort into their ALCO fleet.
