I believe only the 611 was fitted with a dual beam headlight when it was being prepared for excursion service. I never saw an J in service in the '50's with dual beams and I've never seen a photo from that era showing dual beams. Doesn't mean it didn't exist, but I never saw it.

After studying recent photos of J-611 moving to the Roanoke Shop, I've noticed that some J-Class locos seem to have single lamp headlights and others have dual (over & under) lamps within the typical single lens. If this is correct, can it be explained as a design evolution or is there something more interesting going on?

Thanks, Bob Brown
