The LS is a shortline railroad in Luzerne and Lackawanna Counties (PA). It operates around 60 miles of track in the area, and has interchanges with the RBMN at Duryea, and with NS at various other locations.
With a staggering 4 locomotives and 6 employees, the LS pulls around 2000 cars annually on ex-DLW, LV, and PNER lines. These cars typically consist of chemicals and building materials, among some other things.
History
The LS was formed under conditions similar to the DL and the LRWY; it was formed in 1994 to operate tracks owned by the Luzerne County Redevelopment Authority.
