The J's sharks were really Babyfaces in sharks' clothing. The PRR had some like that, as well. Their BLH designation was DR-4-4-15.

The J's eventually wound up on the B&O. There are subtle differences between them and the RF-16. If you look in a copy of the LaMarre book whose current title is DIESEL LOCOMOTIVES: THE FIRST FIFTY YEARS (formerly titled the DIESEL SPOTTER'S GUIDE), which is published by Our Host, on page 328 there is a photograph of a DR-4-4-15 in the J paint job--a very simple paint job, a t that.

This question popped up a few months ago. AFAIR, the color painting on the Fallen Flags site was it online/ You might want to dig through several of the Morning Sun color books for a photo or two, or contact the EJ&E historical society for leads.

I would like to find a color photo of the Baldwin Sharks that E, J, & E had for a short time. I've already checked the Fallen Flags site. Any other suggestions?
