Date: 05/21/15 14:48 Re: Who likes Sharks? Author: binder001 Interesting, but since they didn't serve in the West I have to give them a "ho-humm" Sorry

Were these sharks by way of the Monongehela Rwy? (ex-NYC) Date: 05/21/15 14:51 Re: Who likes Sharks? Author: EH49 Yes they were. And they still exist somewhere in Michigan.

But, as already said, I am more interested in the West. That is a fantasic photo above though. I love looking at photos like that with lots of freight cars and things lying around.

Andre Date: 05/21/15 15:56 Re: Who likes Sharks? Author: lizzard_45 I am a Western guy, a Denver & Rio Grande Western guy, but I still like the Sharks.
The have somewhat of the T-1 styling to them. And in my world, since Alfred Edward Perlman left the Rio Grande to become president of the NYC, he sent a pair back to Salt Lake City for testing...still in the cigar band scheme.

That's no accident...Raymond Lowey designed both the PRR's unique T-1 and the Shark for Baldwin, and had said that he designed the Shark as the "diesel version" of the T-1 design. Count me in as a shark fan...just not the hockey team one;) Date: 05/21/15 20:09 Re: Who likes Sharks? Author: tomstp Oh gee, I though[t I was gonna see some fish.

Date: 05/21/15 20:50 Re: Who likes Sharks? Author: bwyrick Hey now, what's wrong with San Jose?! :P I've always thought the Baldwin Sharks were some of the most intriguing engines from the time frame.
Brody Wyrick Reno, NV Date: 05/21/15 21:07 Re: Who likes Sharks? Author: bnsfsd70 Yeah, they're cool looking units, but hands down, my favorites are the EJ&E ones as seen here. The 6-axle PRR units were pretty baller too.
DMIR 230 posted some shots of some HO ones he did here a few years ago: http://www.trainorders.com/discussion/read.php?3,1708598 - Jeff Carlson Date: 05/22/15 06:36 Re: Who likes Sharks? Author: SPED I think you should paint a couple in Black Widow paint.
Ed Date: 05/22/15 06:52 Re: Who likes Sharks? Author: march_hare Great Sayre shot, but the date is off by a couple of years. Sharks didn't arrive on the D&H until 74 or 75.
