Why I think this page should be split in half.

I really think this page should be split in half as “Delaware and Hudson 1205” and “Delaware and Hudson 1216”. Right now, I am working on two pages for Canadian Pacific steam locomotives 1238 and 1286, and I’m keeping them separate, because I personally think that one page about two locomotives is a bad idea, unless it’s about every locomotive within the a single class. You just never know if you find out that 1205 and 1216’s backstories are different or not. 1216 was recently pulled out alone, while 1205 is still in storage, so eventually, their stories might split up from there, especially if they get sold to separate owners. If this page just ultimately gets redirected to “Baldwin RF-16”, so be it, but it would be more appreciative if this page were split into two pages other each cover one locomotive unit.
