One of only two surviving Baldwin RF-16 “Sharknose” diesel locomotives were moved from Escanaba to Wells, MI today (December 2, 2021). Come along as I document this historic move, it was the first time it's seen sunlight in almost 40 years! This one is numbered 1216 was put inside and stored since the early 80's, its said it will be donated to a museum along with the other unit 1205.
Baldwin built 109 such A units and 51 B-units between 1950 and 1953 for Baltimore & Ohio, New York Central, and the Pennsylvania Railroad. The last two As, Nos. 1205 and 1216, which were in danger of scrapping, were purchased by Delaware & Hudson in 1974. They were used in freight service and in passenger excursion service on the D&H until late 1978. No. 1216 was briefly used by E&LS in the summer of 1979, then saw another revival in autumn 1982, but after a few trips between the railroad’s headquarters in Wells and Channing the unit’s crankshaft broke and it has been stored ever since. - (www.trains.com...)
