(erielack) Lackawanna / EL red "bullseye" lights, and other oddities



Dear Group,

We've discussed the nose door-mounted red bullseye lights on the front
of Lackawanna F units, and the red bulb in the Mars Light assembly on
the passenger F3s and E8s.  Emergency lights.  Right.

But, I am now looking at a photo of a Lackawanna MU high trailer car at
the Gladstone station.  The roof-mounted red bullseye light below the
headlight is illuminated, along with the usual red marker lights.  Was
the bullseye light on the MUs just used as a third marker light at the
rear of the train?

Also, never got a definitive answer on the red light in the nose of the
U34CHs.  Marker light, emergency light, or other?

Cheers,
Alan <quahog_@_sprint.ca>
