Here is what I posted last August regarding dates on Class J. As Bud 
mentioned, and I mentioned to you off list, I have never seen actual 
scrap sale dates on any of these. I have a photo dated mid 1960 with a 
line of locomotives with the boilers cut off and flues and tubes 
removed, back in the line is clearly a Class J, not idetifiable with 
number painted out.
