Use idxmax
for first values of index where True
in condition:
df = df.loc[(df['LOC'] == 'X').idxmax():(df['LOC'] == 'Y').idxmax()]
print (df)
C V S D LOC
0 1 2 3 4 X
1 5 6 7 8 NaN
2 1 2 3 4 NaN
3 5 6 7 8 Y

In [133]: df.loc[df.index[df.LOC=='X'][0]:df.index[df.LOC=='Y'][0]]
Out[133]:
C V S D LOC
0 1 2 3 4 X
1 5 6 7 8 NaN
2 1 2 3 4 NaN
3 5 6 7 8 Y
PS this will select all rows between first occurence of X
and first occurence of Y
