Ok, I am not an expert on grease block lubricated plain bearings......and probably never will be (!), but here's a Perry photo of #4460 in 1957 w/o stars: http://digital.denverlibrary.o...ll22/id/53823/rec/55
Believe 4460 pulled the last or second to last steam powered train on the SP in 1957 or 1958 (a fan trip). Provided for informational purposes only (!)

Photos of 4460 on the last couple of excursions that she pulled show her decorated with silver paint all the way up on the front of her skyline casing. In regular service the silver ended at the top of the smokebox front on the GS-6s. The front of the casing was black.

Fan trip runs can be very misleading as to a locomotive's appearance in regular service.

Both LIRR G5s locomotives, #35 and #39, were also tattooed with the silver paint brush for their last steam excursion runs.
