Current LSRC Locomotive Roster

Paint Scheme Summary:

  • Phase I: Blue with white Zebra Stripes, plus LSRC Logo on the hood. Before SBS merger, dual LSRC/SBS logos were used on the long hood. Dual-logo units are noted as such.
  • Phase II: Introduced in 2013, and has been applied to all locomotives acquired since. In 2017, the 25th Anniversary unit featured a modification of this scheme with a 25-year logo in place of the usual long hood design.
  • Grey & Yellow: Former KCS/TFM paint. This scheme is in its sunset on the Lake State, a holdover from when the purchase of the ex-FURX leased units. They're being cycled through paint along with the Phase I units over time.
