Railside Alex	General	I believe this is a J-1b or c. The J-1d’s and e’s never had two reserves as seen on the left side here, although the b’s an c’s did until the late 30’s. The exhaust stack is behind the smokestack and the air compressor shields have a shape reminiscent of the early b’s, too. Great photo regardless!	10/18/2021 10:36:35 PM
