Lancaster and Chester 2829 is part of a six pack of locomotives on the L&C main line at Circle S Feed Mill in Bascomville, South Carolina. the set of power is moving away from us to couple up to the cars in the distance. They are empty grain hoppers that have been shoved out of the grain mill when the crew brought down another cut oof loads.
Lancaster and Chester (LC) #2829 is a former Southern Railway EMD GP38AC built in 1971. Upon that railroad's merger with the Norfolk & Western, it became Norfolk Southern (NS) #2829. It was then sold to Gulf & Ohio Railways where it worked for a number of railroads including the Wiregrass Central and the Chattahoochee & Gulf. When these railroads were sold to the Genesee & Wyoming, G&O took the engine to Knoxville and chopped her high short hood, then sent it down to the L&C.
