Re: [CBQ] GP9 Use of Headlights

["kerhart@frontier.com" <kerhart@frontier.com>]

If an engine was equipped with an oscillating red headlight and the conditions required its use, would the red oscillating lights on both ends be illuminated?  Thank you.

Headlight rules pertaning to "MARS" lights...
17(C). On engines so equipped, oscillating white headlight
must be displayed approaching and passing over public
crossings and through cities and towns by night or during
foggy or stormy weather. It must be extinguished when the
headlight is dimmed or extinguished.
Oscillating white light should be used in a stationary
position as a substitute headlight in case of failure of
the headlight.
17(D). On engine so equipped, oscillating red headlight
must be displayed immediately by day or by night under
the following conditions:
When a train is disabled or stopped suddenly by an
emergency application of air brakes;
When engineer or conductor finds it necessary to stop
train due to some defect which might cause an accident;
When an adjacent track is obstructed or there is a
possibility of it being obstructed;
When head end protection is required.
When red headlight is displayed, an opposing train on
same or adjacent track must stop before passing
headlight, ascertain the cause and be governed by
conditions. The use of oscillating red headlight does not
in any way relieve members of the crew from compliance
with Rules 99 and 102.
