    Some of these showed up about 1990, on the branch line behind my house, in western Washington. I might have even captured this one, or a sister, in BN green.

    Love the wig wag crossing signal to the right in the CB&Q shot and the J centercabs. :love:

    Although I saw plenty of J centercabs as a child, I caught only two on film as a teenager -- the 916 on a wreck train with my mother's Kodak Instamatic (01/07/1975) and the 924 with my Dad's Kodak Retina Reflex (04/17/1975), both at Barrington, IL. The 916 was sold for scrap 02/1976 and the 924 in 09/1975.
