Hello,
I am an O Gauge modeler who has recently been trying to model aspects of the Pennsylvania Railroad. PRR diesel engines that have the 5 stripes predominantly pull passenger train consists. In the case of the RF-16 Sharknose, most archival film and pictures show the ones with five stripes also pulling freight consists. Why is that? Did the Sharknose with 5 stripes ever pull Noteworthy passenger trains?
thanks,
R. Scott Kelly

RF-16s were freight only. Over their life they wore Brunswick green sometimes with circled keystone and 5 stripes later green with buff single stripe. Baldwin made a passenger shark, the BP-20. THEY WERE GREEN WITH 5 STRIPESAND POSSIBLY TUSCAN with 5 stripes. Ended careers on NY&LB possibly pushers on horseshoe curve.
The BP20s wore both five-stripe and single stripe liveries in both DGLE and tuscan colors.
