As a teen growing up in the country right next to a busy Frisco mainline I remember the Frisco engines has Graylights. The beacon made a circle pattern that projected out in front of the loco, when the pattern was at the top, the light would shine up into the sky. During a chilly or cold night you could hear the engines coming a long way off. As they got a little closer you could begin to make out the "search light" shinning in the sky as it made its loop around the light. Many of the Frisco engines also had the yellow rotating beacons and some had the 4 bulb flashing kind. The bulbs for and aft would light then go out and the two side lights would light then go out. These did not rotate just alternate flashes. (I like the rotating ones better, but I understand the vibrations were not good for the inside moving parts.) The Frisco would have EVERY light on. I liked that. When many of the fields next to the track were pastures it made seeing the train on a moonless night much easier. And trust me on a moonless night out in the country (with no streetlights) IT IS DARK.
