Some times you would get busy and forget till it got a little dark and the switch engine hollered at you.  That could happen third trick too.  Only forgetting to turn them off trying to get the freights thru and dinky engines on and out of town.

Steve,

You ARE the best! Thank you very much. That's exactly what I wanted to see. On during the day too and it was nice and sunny out.

Hi All,

Does anyone know what type of lighting was used on the covered platforms at Aurora, IL. Where they Halogen, Incadecent, some other sort of lights?

I cam across the following 3 pics online, and they look like some sort of metal cover that's attached to the metal piping running between each of the sections.

On the covered platform behind the train:

Just right on the edge of the picture to the right of the boy:

Partially hidden by the concrete support holding the covered platform roof up:

Does any know of any photographs taken directly of the underside of the covered platforms. Trying to figure out if there's a lense cover protecting the light source or not, and to get a better idea of the shape? I know these types of things are probably not common, but I'm sure someone must have taken shots of these at some point, I'm just hoping that they haven't scanned them because no one would be interested in them.

Regards

James
