BJRY 900
Title:  BJRY 900
Description:  Detail shot of the front headlight on BJRY SW9 900. Note that instead of the typical vertical orientation of two sealed beam lamps commonly found on an SW9. this is an older NW2 style "golden glow" headlight converted to sealed beams, with two lamps mounted horizontally. Note also the "BU50" lettering barely discernible in the number board. We believe that this headlight came off of IHB slug BU50, which was rebuilt from an NW2.
