Shark near the water!

Here's a blast from the past! Leased RF16 "Sharknose" No. 1216 departs Wells, Michigan on the E&LS on 8/24/79. This was in my younger days when I drove all night from St. Paul, chased this train, then drove back home and went to work. But it was worth it to see a real, live Sharknose. The unit is still in Michigan, stored indoors in Escanaba (with no plans to operate, in case you were going to ask).
