Very nice pic! I didn't even know that bridge was still in use! glad it see it is! Is there any place around or in Cleveland that any Scherzer Rolling Lift bridges or any Jack-knife bridges are still in use? If so any safe spots to watch one in use? I never got to see one movee and I think that would be pretty cool to see! Thanks!

Consulting the Diesel Spotter's Guide this morning, as I obviously
should have last night, reveals:

- I forgot about the NdeM centipedes.
- The DR-6-4-15, like the E and PA units, were indeed A1A-A1A trucked. I
should have remembered the often repeated "The NYC had no C-C units."
- Later DR-4-4-15 units had the more famous sharknose cabs.

Any other old geezer diesel fans out there remember how exciting it was
when the ads for DSG, with the picture of the crowded Pennsy engine
terminal, started showing up in Trains? It was my first "grown up" train
book. When I got to tech school after basic training, I had my parents mail
it to me even though I had little opportunity to diesel spot. After 42
years, it remains an indispensible reference book and for $3.50, quite a
bargain.

Happy Veteran's Day to all you vets!

I found this card on ebay tonight and thought I'd share. The seller says it's marked 1950. The shot is taken of the east side of the building.

     Nope... how about A1A-A1A! It's too late for this stuff. Goodnight!

     Looking at the model number again, I'm probably wrong calling them C-C
units. I'd have to do some more research but possibly the 6-4 indicates 6
axles with 4 powered, which could make it a B-A1A trucked unit. I believe
some of the FM's were also this way.

> What is the unit to the right? It looks like a Baldwin centipede.

     Every once in a while, I can actually find something I'm looking for.
According to the back of the card, that is: Baldwin "Babyface" No. 3401. New
York Central System Diesel Locomotives identifies 3401 as a model DR-4-4-15,
one of 4 A units built for the Central in 10/1948. They also had 2 B units.

     The Central also had 4 DR-6-4-15 C-C trucked passenger units with the
same type cabs and 2 C-C trucked B units.

     Collinwood and EMD re-engined at least some of both sets of these
Baldwins.

     MKN

> What is the unit to the right? It looks like a Baldwin centipede.

     I'm pretty sure only Pennsy and Seaboard had the centipedes. This
Baldwin was called the Babyface by fans, but I think it shared a look alike
cab with the centipedes.
