Our Rusty, Forgotten Past Comes Alive in Rusted Days with Robert John Davis

The metal music in the intro goes well with the rust theme! What can you tell me about the photo at 0:14 -- looks like a Baldwin Shark in front of the breaker, but too obscured by the foreground clutter for me to say for sure.

Yep, that should be an episode to its self. A PRR Shark B-unit was converted to a mobile generator. Apparently it wasn’t successful. The unit sat at the Sullivan Trail colliery in West Pittston, PA until the early 1990’s when it was broken up. Some folks tried to save it (including yours truly who who thought he had a good “in”. Maybe not so much) .
