QUOTE: Originally posted by whcwpg CPR had Mars Lights on the Canadian as late as the mid 1970's, prior to the Via takeover.I remember how impressive they looked on the flat Canadian Prairie at 0500 on a frosty morning.
QUOTE: Originally posted by zardoz There were also a few SD40's that had a gyrating light in the front. These were not original CNW units (I do not know where they came from). The locomotives that had them were in the 900 series (923, 930, etc). The light was mounted in the same location as where the CNW mounted the bell on the SD40-2's (near the top of the low nose).
