The last sharks ran on the Michigan Northern, and briefly on the E&LS and are now stored in the Escanaba and Lake Superior enginehouse. Story about their last days:http://baldwindiesels.railfan.net/mign/index.html
The coupled length of these units is reported as 54' 4 1/2" for the first series BF-15 and 54' 8" for the second series BF-15a. The coupled length of the BF-16s was 54'8" the same as the second series BF-15s.
You know, the one thing I'd like in this world is a fairly high definition shot of the rear of a BLW cab unit; I've only seen one, and that was being scrapped so all the interesting bits had been removed.Oddly, I've only sen side on shots of B units by themselves.
With only one shark available in N scale. Does any of this matter?
I'm pretty sure I have seen a photo of a shark from the rear. I'll try to find it.Frank
