EMD SD45´S lighting
Posted by ale82 on Thursday, December 21, 2017 2:28 PM

Good day everybody
I just got a Burlington SD45 #530 (before BN era)
Does anybody know which would be the correct lights configuration ?

I left them fixed on top (between numberboards) and a girolite on the nose.

Thanks for the tips.

According to what is on rrpicturearchives,  the CB&Q had 7 SD45's.  They all have, such as you say, over-under lights between the number boards, and over-under lights on the nose.

This link is to page 3 of the list, where you'll find the SD45's.

  The CB&Q used the red and white gyralite's in the upper housing, and standard white fixed lights in the nose on EMD's, and just the opposite on the GE U-boats...
