Cabbage Cutter in Cincy
Title:  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.

Unknown photographer, from the Ralph L. Phillips collection of the Bay State Model Railroad Museum.
