A Pair of Brownsville Beauties
Author: refarkas

As of September 1968, the Monongahela had not relettered any of their ex-NYC Sharks. NYC 1213 was never relettered for the Monongahela, but 1210 was and wore her lettering proudly. These were in the engine facility in Brownsville, Pennsylvania.

Bob, I don't know much about NYCS diesels, but have this Shark photo in the Vollrath collection that I purchased.  It was taken in Indianapolis in 1960, and apparently the numbering system was changed between then and your shot in '68.

According to The Diesel Shop your image has the original numbers and mine the final NYC numbers.

The renumbering was mid-60's in anticipation of the PC merger. I think PRR had GP9B's that conflicted with original NYC RF-16 number series. The GP9B's kept their numbers IIRC.
