NYC RF-16A #1216 |
| Description: |
Built by Baldwin in January of 1952, this locomotive earned the nickname "Sharknose" for its unusual nose design. The goal of the new style was partly to differentiate Baldwin locomotives from competitors, and partly to distance the new locomotives from early Baldwin diesels that were plagued with mechanical problems. The style was inspired by the Pennsylvania Railroad's T1 class duplex steam locomotive, some of which were built by Baldwin. The RF-16 was a successful locomotive. #1216 and 1205 have led an interesting life after NYC sold them for scrap in 1971 but were saved by Delaware & Hudson who used them for 6 years. D&H then sold them to Castolite Corporation to be leased on the Michiagn Northern Rwy in 1979. Eventually both suffered mechanical damage and supposedly stored in a remote Escanaba & Lake Superior RR building. |

MGA RF-16A #1216 - Monongahela RR |
| Description: |
This "sharknose" loco was built by Baldwin in january of 1952 as NYC 381. Although a good perfomer, it bounced onto several other rr rosters like the Monongahela as their #1216. There is a rumor that this loco and another RF-16A are stored in a remote Escanaba & Lake Superior RR building. Michael A Tedesco took this color slide of the loco. |

DH 1216 |
| Description: |
The Delaware & Hudson "Slate Picker" crosses the Champlain Canal behind the D&H's two used (but snazzy) Sharknose RF16s. This train served the Washington Branch. Its name harked back to the slate industry that existed on the branch, all the way back to the 19th Century. The diesels were ex New York Central, purchased from the Monogahela Railway in 1974. The last two Baldwin RF-16 "Sharks" in the world at this time, they were part of a preservation project under Carl B. Sterzing Jr. D&H CEO. They were sold upon his retirement. |

MDiv. Here is a duplicate 35mm color slide of a photo by John Dziobko, Jr., that was taken near Denholm, Pennsylvania, on 17 August 1957. Shown here (L to R) are Pennsylvania Railroad engines #2000 and a "Shark" B-unit whose number is not recorded. Both were built by the Baldwin Locomotive Works. #2000 was built in June of 1951 and retired in July of 1966 after just 15 years of revenue service. This A-B set is passing under the then-defunct Denholm Coaling Wharf with a mixed-cargo freight train bound for the Enola Yards. ("Stoneborobranch"; #42 of 56) |
