In checking photos from the early 50's, it appears that the locos were delivered with the extended tapered stacks. Bulletin 47 shows the 307 in 1955 with the tapered stacks. Other early photos I have also confirm this. Page 59 shows the C&S 822 and 826 with screen spark arrestors added (you can see thru them). The photo of 407  has the screen add on. As I posted earlier, BB 48 on page 63 shows an overhead view of BN 6049 with the original stacks.

Here are several photos of Q SD7s and SD9s with spark arrestors and one photo of an SD with an extended stack modification. Just as a matter of information, EMD's basic manifold for Roots blown engines was considered a spark arrestor as they had baffles in them that caused the exhaust flow to circulate with the intent to reduce spark emissions. However, in later years, I don't believe that the basic manifold qualified as a spark arrestor as state and local laws became more restrictive. A concern that EMD had as after market spark arrestors were developed and applied, was that some could and did increase back pressures within the engine. Such back pressure could lead to problems including poor combustion (EMD 2 cycle engines depend of clean savaging of exhaust gases when the intake ports are open.), premature exhaust valve failures and cylinder head failures due to overheating. 

These are not my photos. While I would like to credit the individual photographers, they are unknown to me.  I have received these photos in e-mails  over the years..
