Cabbage Cutter in Cincy |
Description: |
"Cabbage Cutter" was one of the nicknames NYC crews bestowed upon the RF-16A, which most modern railfans know as the Shark or Sharknose. The other NYC nickname was Spaceship. Here, 3805 leads an A-B-A formation on a transfer run, a common task for these Baldwins. 3805 is one of the lucky two surviors of this class, stored out of the public eye in Michigan as of 2023 as Delaware & Hudson 1205. Unknown photographer, from the Ralph L. Phillips collection of the Bay State Model Railroad Museum. |

Now Arriving on Track 12, The "Time Express" |
Description: |
This bizarrely-colored and cladded locomotive was actually Amtrak FP7A no. 492 dressed up for TV. It starred in the Vincent Price vehicle (heh) "Time Express", which was cancelled in 1979 after only 4 episodes had aired. You can find out more about this particular engine in this TrainOrders thread (more threads are linked in this one too): https://www.trainorders.com/discussion/read.php?4,1291718 . You can find out more about the show itself here: https://www.cancelledscifi.com/2021/05/01/sci-fi-tv-obscurities-time-express-1979/ . Steve Gartner photo, from the Ralph L. Phillips collection of the Bay State Model Railroad Museum. |

Or at least gold enough for PC to keep running.
