| has gloss | eng: LRC is a bilingual acronym for Light, Rapid, Comfortable or Lèger, Rapide, et Confortable, the name of a series of lightweight diesel-powered passenger trains that were used on short- to medium-distance inter-city service in the Canadian Provinces of Ontario and Quebec. The LRC family includes both locomotives and passenger carriages designed to work together, though the two can be, and now are, used separately. Although the last LRC locomotive was removed from service on 12 December 2001, the passenger cars are still in widespread use and form the backbone of VIA Rail's services. The same basic car forms the basis of the Acela Express in the U.S., and the British Class 221. |

| has gloss | kor: LRC는 VIA 철도가 중단거리간 열차에 주로 편성하는 디젤기관차에 견인되는 차량이다. L은 light (가벼움), R은 rapid (빠름), C은 comfortable (편안함)을 의미하며, 프랑스어로도 상응하는 뜻을 지니고 있다. 한때는 디젤 기관차와 객차가 함께 편성되는 체제였지만, 기관차는 이제 모두 은퇴하고 객차만이 사용되고 있다. 객차 자체에 틸팅기능이 있어 제한적이지만 고속주행을 실현할수 있다. |
