Re: [CBQ] Head Light Operation on Steam Engines

["John Trulson norskeviking@msn.com [CBQ]" <CBQ@yahoogroups.com>]

In going through my collection of narrow gauge C&S none have headlights on. However in my collection of Joe Collias and George Drake  I have found 5600, 6320, 6311, 5607 and "doodlebug" 9844 with lights on. There are no dates on the photos, but on over 50 photos in my collection these are the only ones with the headlight on. In some cases I believe it depends on the railroad.

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?
