OK, here's my research based on a few hundred photos: The DL&W started
installing the spark arrestors starting in late 1957/early 1958. Most units
had the arched screen held up by what appears to be four thin vertical posts
at their corners. Several units also had a square-looking type of spark
arrestor, but these were far less common.

Pilot detail to follow... :)
