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?

" I still think part of the key is the painted-over headlight trim. Wasn't this done only in the last few months of 611's active service life (maybe July through Oct 1959)?"

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