Of all the photos I’ve looked at I’ve never seen this modification. Obviously an early spark collector over the exhaust. This was taken out in Kansas wheat country where the railroad was trying to be careful not to set the crops on fire. Thanks for posting.

Yes, good catch. This spark arrestor covers all the exhausts, although from the angle it’s not possible to tell if there are the original two or the later four.

Another rare item is the first car behind the engines, a two-bay offset hopper painted red with 5′ buzzsaw. Those cars were being scrapped about the time the repainting started.
