Loco Lighting
Posted: Thu Dec 06, 2007 7:13 am
A question has come up in our office about when the railroads began to run their lights during the daylight hours.
I know there has been lighting on the front since pre-1900 and they were mostly used in the evening. Does anyone know when they began to keep the lights on all the time ?
And also when the rotating beacon made its debut.
My first thought was after 1950 when the diesels came out.
