Could be that by that time the J's were in freight service ?That may be a reason to paint over..Don't know  just a guess...Ken Tanner

  Were the other J-class locomotives still in existence at this time or had they been scrapped?

  And what purpose was served by painting over the trim?

    Note that the number light bezels and class lights are painted black too. Was this a part of being relegated to freight service?
