Or paint it in Midnight Special colors. Similar to the Delaware and Hudson colors.

Yes, great to see both D&H Sharks (the last remaining diesels of the Baldwin Sharknose species) alive and well, in storage, and owned by a railroad preservationist who is making an effort to keep them safe until they can be properly restored.

For the record, there are several export sharks in Argentina, and at least one is in running condition.

Here is another view of the Argentine sharks in revenue service in 1989. In addition to the sharks, you'll notice numerous boxcabs. The original 51 Baldwins were the sharks, and a follow on order was built under license in Belguim a year or two later. Those are the boxcabs. Internally, they are the same as the sharks. The EMD locomotives seen in the videos are GT22Cs, the export equicalent of an SD39.
