Early in the morning, a Reading B8a 0-6-0 Camelback switches some boxcars.

Well that isn't too helpful since that is just one classification from one railroad.

The loco is a Baldwin DR-6-4-20 with cowling styled after the PRR T-1 class. The two axel version that came later was an RF-16. Both of them are referred to as Sharks, though the DR-6-20 also came in Babyface. Perhaps the next most famous DR-6-4-20 was the CNJ double ended locos. These are the same loco as the tri-axel shark, but with dual cabs and Babyface cowling.

Uh. That's not, right or something.

An Aussie attempt at double-nosed is this

Yeah, and the B's were created to elevate the need to turn the loco where a steam loco couldn't. I just don't understand why the S class were built with they were less practical than the B class having only 1 nose.
