On the subject of headlights and their less than formal usage, I offer you the following verses from a poem entitled "The Song of the Headlight" from Railway Age 1887 

I guide the train o?er level plain
A swiftly nearing star,
And I bend and swerve where the mountains curve
My iron-bound path to bear:
Up their rocky steeps the fleet flame leaps,
Or I flash in their depths below.
Till the mosses that dress each dim recess
And the nodding ferns I show:
I spring to illume the frowning gloom
Of precipices gray
And waters smile from the deep defile
In my momentary day.

Still on and on till the night is gone
I follow the vibrant rails,
Till the east is red, and overhead
The star of morning pales:
As foes may fear the soldier?s spear,
But comrades have no dread,
The lances of light I hurled at the night
Pierce not where sunbeams spread,
So I cease my rays when the heavens ablaze
Proclaims the darkness fled.

Which goes to prove that not all railway employees were uncouth!!!
