Remember the Old LC and L RY reminiscences recall wood fuel era
The Thorn Town Times recalls the LC and L railway once ran Cincinnati to Lafayette in the fiftys with wood fuel and steam towns stopping anywhere for fuel. Passengers helped load wood, benches were plain, stoves heated cars, and the line expanded via leases to become the Big Four before Morgan’s money reshaped it into the New York Central system. Now the Big Four operates separately again from Cincinnati headquarters, restoring a past independence amid a transformed network.
