mudchickenTechie weed weasels. A trainmaster/ RFE/ Supt. in a signal case/ doghouse/ instrument case/ bungalow without a signalman or other FRA signal qualified person gets to learn what a Code 1 is and have a sinking feeling in the old bank account down here in the lower 48. (shunts is one thing, but playing with the contents of a signal cabinet unsupervised is quite another.
Rules don't apply to them.
It's been fun. But it isn't much fun anymore. Signing off for now.

Deggesty SD70Dude On CN, a flashing lunar indicator light means that the bungalow is operating off its backup battery power supply. An extinguished light means that the bungalow does not have any power, in the state the crossing would of course not be operating (or the bulb is burnt out). The Trainmasters will go and switch the light to flashing as an efficiency test, to see if the next train crew will notice. Failure to report this often results in formal discipline, such as demerits or being held out of service (suspended) for a few weeks. An unescorted film crew on railroad R/W anywhere not at a public crossing are bucking for trouble too. (Shades of the Midnight Rider morons) Oh, you have bungalow weasels?

Unescorted on RR property (and not at a public crossing) without a rules qualified flagman or railroad permission gets you in trouble like the Midnight Rider morons. One died and one went to prison ...and is an ex-filmmaker by court decree. DON'T DO IT.

samfp1943 The lights on the cabins as stated are 'reporting' electrical connections.
We call them something like "power-off" or "power interruption" lights. When lit, they indicate the crossing is getting commercial power. They are supposed to be reported if observed to be dark.
Enzoamps I don't know exactly what you refer to, your pictures do not open. But you might find a thread I started of value: http://cs.trains.com/trn/f/111/p/274331/3125527.aspx#3125527

I've also heard them called signal bungalows.

DocMakerHello, we are producing a documentary involving some railroad tracks and crossing signals. We have been unable to find the specific name for this piece of equipment and the light on the side of it. I figured I would ask the experts! Can you please tell me the name of this unit and the name of this light? What is this light used for? I've attached a couple of pictures to show the unit and the light. Thank you very much in advance!

Welcome to the forum - however, you have not posted any viewable pictures. To post pictures in this forum they have to be linked from a 3rd party's web site.
That thread should answer the question.
Some of the shortlines around here have installed an amber turn signal that flashes with the crossing lights. The turn signal is mounted/oriented so it can be seen up and down the tracks.
