In March 2009, I hoped to catch the Lancaster and Chester using their newly repainted switch engine that was now wearing a paint scheme much like SW900s 90 and 91 had been delivered in back in 1965. I was lucky because as soon as got to the shop area in Lancaster, SW1200 94 was getting onto the main line. I did not know it had been painted yet. All they did was take it across Main Street to pick up a set of axles on this siding and take them back to the shop. I had seen cars parked on this siding, but never saw a locomotive on it before or after this day. Luck was on my side for one.
L&C SW1200 #94 was built for the Pennsylvania Railroad in 1957 as PRR 7917, then became a Penn Central unit (PC 9017) after the merger with New York Central and, of course, later Conrail (CR 9336) after the government take over of the Penn Central. Conrail sold it to the L&C in 1996. It was sold by L&C in 2016 to Florida Central as their FCEN 94.
