[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by Sterling1 These were the last questions I put on topic ... Is there a reason for WP unit 707 for having this kind of headlight instead a vertical set? http://www.railpictures.net/viewphoto.php?id=107255 Also is this extention common? http://www.railpictures.net/viewphoto.php?id=107295 As of today they haven't been answered ... Matt Hey Matt [:)] The single headlight was a common item on many early diesels. I really like it too, to me it adds some character to them. If you were to compare the same model with a single headlight and a twin headlight you would see what I mean. The single headlight, to me anyway, just looks better. [^] About that homemade extension, the engineer probally did that for his own convience. Many switching jobs are done by the same crew using the same engine day after day. There might be another crew to also use this engine but they both probally agreed on that "setup" and left it just like that. I am not sure the FRA would approve of it. There are a few other items (seen in that photo) that railroaders would not like either. However, I will not point them out. You just don't leave an engine, open to people, as was done here. It certainly is a question of safety. Even if the engineer was still in the engine there are a few things he didn't do that he should have done. [/quote]
