The LC-2 was an improved boxcab electric locomotive of the Norfolk and Western Railway, built by Westinghouse and the American Locomotive Company. Four units were delivered in 1924 and 1925 for the Elkhorn Grade, where the railway had extended electrification to a total of 52 miles. They were about a third more powerful than the LC-1 machines that Westinghouse and Baldwin had supplied in 1914 and 1915, and they ran alongside them until electric operation ended. When the railway opened a longer, gentler double-track tunnel on June 26, 1950, the grade no longer needed electric power and the LC-2s were retired and scrapped.
