CN is the only railroad that continues to order marker lights. Conrail did, and some of their former locomotives still have them. They were common before the 1990s.
ALL:
The locomotives on "Railroad Alaska" have red marker lights on the rear of the long hoods.
I have not seen those on BNSF locomotives. The BNSF uses the headlight on low to mark the end of a train. Somehow I feel that red is more appropriate.
How many road have ordered this option on their new locomotives?
