Railpictures.ca - Marcus W Stevens Photo: This was the only time I managed to catch a LMSX Dash-8 leader on NS trains 327/328. Originally the LMS Dash-8’s were split between Conrail and CN. The breakup of Conrail would split half of the fleet between NS and CSX, with CN retaining the rest. This day I caught up with NS 328 just outside of Port Robinson crossing Welland River, on it’s way to Buffalo NY. | Railpictures.ca – Canadian Railway Photography

These were common back then. We called them LMSX leasers as well – i don’t know how they ended up being called something completely irrelevant for a nickname.
