D&H Sharknose RF-16's

[D&H Dave]

Does anyone know if there's any news on the old D&H Sharknoses that are tucked away and rusting somewhere. Are there any plans on refurbishing them anytime soon? If anyone has any news at all on these one of a kind D&H classics, please respond.

Things have been disappointingly quiet on this question. The last report I saw stated they were owned by the  Escanaba and Lake Superior Railroad A Google search will bring up numerous websites about the Baldwin Sharks. This one is taken from the American Rails Website:

Until recently, one could sometimes catch a glimpse of these units, as they were stored outdoors but were reportedly moved indoors after the units’ builder plates were stolen by vandals. As to whether the RF16s will ever be used again and/or showcased in a museum can only be guessed, although for history’s sake it would be great to see this happen, as the Sharknose is truly a unique and historic locomotive.
