The plane in the photo is one of Janet's B737-600s. The 600's have larger tails than the early -100 and -200 series of B737s. The tail was enlarged to improve stability.
Janet no longer flies the B737-200, which had the smaller P&W JT8D engines. Starting with the 300 series, B737s were powered by CFM56s.
