Elusive Baldwin ‘Shark’ Emerges After Four Decades in Storage

The locomotive and its sister, D&H 1205, have been stored there since the early 1980s.

The concept of these things just sort of sitting in buildings is kind of depressing, but better than them being scrapped.

Good to see it under direct sunlight

The owner has promised the sharks would be given away to a museum.
But that's not happening right now, it turns out this is just a move for managing storage space.
