Good question, experts!  I myself have been trying to figure out when the practice of having the headlight on started for steamers.  Also: did diesels (especially passenger diesels) use lit headlights earlier than steamers in the daytime?

Just going through several hundred photos I have of Q steam dating between 1930's and 1960. Although may are of engines that are not moving, there are a lot of photos of engines hauling loads. Most all do not have the head light on, the photos where all taken during daylight hours.



Was it a practice for the Q and other RR's to run steam (freight) without the headlight on during the day?
