Re: [CBQ] Way car marker lights 60's era

[Jpslhedgpeth@aol.com]

If your talking 60's in general........lots of W/C were using reflective 
paddles by this time although as Jonn said....lots of "coal"....he means "coal 
oil"..(kerosene) markers were still in use in the early 60's...Some, if not 
all, of the lightweight passenger cars still had marker brackets...It looked 
kind of, shall we say "bizarre" to see a lightweight coach or 
sleeper............or even a round end ob car with kersene 
markers............but it did happen...If you look through some the "pictorial 
color books you can find some examples.

Marker lights did not flash, as a matter of fact kerosene lamps were used on 
non-electric equipped waycars until very late. Even NE-12's used "coal lights" 
for a long time as did heavyweight passenger equipment.

HI All
I am looking at putting some marker lights on a couple of Way Cars but I am not 
sure what was typical of the red light did it flash or burn steady. I have not 
seen or heard of any discussion on this and I have no idea of what was 
prototypical. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks Brad
