Hol,

The re gearing was probably done at a wheel change in 1955 and the boiler removal and freight re paint was probably done at a later overhaul at West B. If a schedule of West B overhaul work was available, we could probably determine the boiler removal date.

Bob:

These units were regeared for freight service in 1955, and it has always baffled me why their boilers weren't removed and the units repainted into freight colors at that time -- but clearly they weren't. One would have to presume that the boilers were removed when the units were repainted into freight colors in 1958, as no photos I've seen of them in white indicate the presence of the boiler equipment, though as you say, it's impossible to tell in some photos.
