Nostalgia & History > Toss Back Tuesday, Hammerhead StyleDate: 02/04/25 03:01 Toss Back Tuesday, Hammerhead Style Author: jgilmore In the fall of '88, a pair of land sharks (leader running LHF) are lugging a loaded train for Detroit Edison across the flatland south of Oak Harbor, OH, heading for Toledo. With the 45s dying out, these C39s kept the menacing look going for awhile.

Tom Date: 02/04/25 10:37 Re: Toss Back Tuesday, Hammerhead Style Author: TheIndianaConnection No, they had a single control stand on the conductors side set up to run long hood forward. It was almost parallel to the window so you could run either way instead of at an angle like most units.
