Re: Flashing lights and/or Rotating Beacons on loc

We had been talking about the lights on the loco but now let's bring up the rear. (Pun intended) The single level cars with the dome in the middle (dome cars) all, or most all, had the one hugh light at the rear above the door. This light had its own streamlined housing. On each side there was a much smaller red light showing to the rear. Was the big red light also a Gyralite, was it a Mars light, or was it just simply a large red light that didn't rotate? The only dome car I remember seeing from the back, at one time had this hugh red light but when I saw the car in a railroad museum the light was gone and a plate put there in the place of the lense. Since I have never seen this light on a working dome car I am curious about this question. I have ridden the UP's dome cars in steam excursion service but don't remember seeing the rear end of the car. Usually there is a business car at the end of these excursion anyway, or at least there has been when they have came here.
