In 1966, a consortium of Canadian industrial firms began considering a conventionally-powered competitor to the TurboTrain, eventually emerging as the [[LRC (train)|LRC]] (Light, Rapid, Comfortable) in the early 1970s. This design also used an active-tilt system, but one of very different form than the APT. The carriages rode on two C-shaped channels mounted across the top of the bogies. Tilt was accomplished by rams that pushed the bottom of the carriage side to side along these channels.<ref>{{harvnb|Litvak|Maule|1982|p=55}}</ref><ref>{{harvnb|Maurer|1975|p= 61}}</ref>

Amtrak experimented with the LRC in 1980, but retired it seven years later. In Canada, it entered service in 1981, beating the APT into service and becoming the first operational active-tilt system. The LRC carriages remain in use today, although the tilt mechanisms are being removed to reduce weight and maintenance costs.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.viarail.ca/sites/all/files/media/pdfs/About_VIA/our-company/capital-investment-plan/BK090501E%20-%20VIA%20LRC.pdf |website=VIA Rail |title=An All-Canadian Rail Innovation from Roof to Wheels |date=Spring 2009}}</ref>

Bombardier has since used updated versions of the LRC carriages for [[Amtrak]]'s [[Acela]], the third generation of tilting ICE, the new generation of fast British trains ([[British Rail Class 221|Super Voyager]]) and the experimental [[JetTrain]].{{citation needed|date=June 2024}}
