hey everyone I have some questions about the lights on diesel locos. Im sure most of this stuff is the same in the US as here, so, besides the headlights on an engine what are all the other lights called and whats their purpose? Most of the engines i've seen have, in addition to headlights and ditchlights, small white and red lights on the ends of the hoods or near the number boards (marker lights?), lights mounted in the four stairwells around the pilot, and lights mounted underneath the frame somewhere above each truck (running lights?) Why all this lights in all these places?
