I have a photograph and negative of 613 in the Portsmouth, Ohio yard with a 
doghouse.  The negative is undated, but it has to be near the end of steam 
service.

----------------------------------------
	I believe a majority of the J's did receive doghouses, I am looking at
the January 1983 issue of "Trains" magazine, which contains a cover
article on the 611, this was right after her restoration. In one
photograph by William E. Warden, it shows 611 in regular passenger
service, but probably 58 with a doghouse on her tender, evidently this
was removed before she was sent to the VMT.
