LRC Reborn – The Awakening of LRC Locomotive #6917

In our last TRHA News posting, we covered the installation of new pumps into the LRC locomotive which the TRHA acquired for restoration, one of only two left on the planet.  We are pleased to announce that our LRC Project Team has now successfully restarted the LRC’s diesel engine. They were not able to move the engine just yet but hope to do so soon.  Watch the 7 minute video above for the story of the restarting of the LRC after 13 years of its being out of service.

The photos below were taken by the team to capture this event.  Click here to read the full story of the start-up and view more photos.
