Remarks: The D&H ran their Sharks in local service, pushers and the occasional excursion. The pair worked the Binghamton-based local that took a daytime transfer west over the EL to Waverly, NY, then down the LV connection into the Sayre, PA yard.

Remarks: The two sharks on the E&LS were seldom seen in the light of day after the first few months on the property. On occasion they were moved out of the roundhouse in Wells or later the big building the E&LS had bought in the ex crane plant in Escanaba. I happened upon them parked at Wells spliced by another E&LS Baldwin in the spring of 1984. I nearly didn't shoot the scene because of the tree shadows on 1205. The units were not running in this photo and as far as I know had not ran in a number of years, although they supposedly are still parked inside to this day.

Remarks: NYC sharks wait at Harmon in 3rd-rail territory. This shot and others came during a family cruise up the Hudson valley on a Sunday in the '50 Olds Rocket 88. John, a teenager at the time, recalls convincing his parents to pull into Harmon where he was able to squeeze off a few frames. He recalls being somewhat intimidated in the midst of the NYC environs with the resulting in shaky camera/slow film syndrome in some of the exposures.

Remarks: Leased Baldwin Sharknose No. 1216 was used in service on the E&LS for a very brief period in the fall of 1982. Here the train passes the abandoned store at Watson, Mich. on the turn from Wells to Channing, Michigan. A few trips later the 1216 broke its crankshaft and has not run since.

Remarks: The Baldwin sharks are ready to roll as enthusiasts study these beasts carefully. These locomotives along with the ALCO PAs were preponderate celebrities of their era. Delaware and Hudson promoted them on fan trips and in freight service. Railfan enthusiasm for the Blue and yellow cab units was widespread.

Remarks: Ore empties move east behind Baldwin sharks. John's railfanning companion was his longtime friend the late Bill Rosenberg of Kew Gardens, Long Island, N.Y., and the method of transport for this 3 day railfanning safari that included stops in Lewistown, Harrisburg, Renovo, and Williamsport Pa. plus Hagerstown, MD., was a Greyhound bus, which they caught for the return home east later that New Years eve. Bill passed away in 2004. Thanks to Rick Erben for the info as to probable train destination and loading. PRR Class BF32.
