From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Laurinburg and Southern Railroad (reporting mark LRS) is a short-line railroad operating in North Carolina. The railroad has 28 mi (45 km) of track that runs south from Raeford to Laurinburg, North Carolina and industries to the south. However, much of the line is out of service, and sections at either end are used for car storage.
