zugmann CrazyTiger: http://www.railpictures.net/viewphoto.php?id=362645 Can't you see the "whiskers" of a catfish? Nicknamed by people that obliviously never saw PRR electrics and diesels.

Can't you see the "whiskers" of a catfish?

...because they come from a part of the country where catfish is most often on the menu under "seafood".

Deggesty Zug, that was my thought when I read your comment earlier this morning. When I saw the picture of the NS locomotive, I immediately thought of the "whiskers" the PRR locomotives had. (You did mean "obviously," didn't you? Though, they may have seen whiskered PRR locomotives and were oblivious to the similarity.)

This is a new one for me. Geeps, Cadillacs, Pooches, U-Boats, Love Bugs, Toasters, and now Catfish. What are some other nicknames I've forgotten or didn't know about?
