There is a difference between the Mars lights and a GyraLite but they both served the same purpose. I hope this helps some. http://www.trainweb.org/gyra/gyra_use.htm http://www.trainweb.org/gyra/photo/wprr.htm Reply Edit Anonymous Member sinceApril 2003 305,205 posts Posted by Anonymous on Sunday, April 3, 2005 2:30 PM QUOTE: Originally posted by chad thomas Was the SP the only railroad to use the gyro-lights, or were there others ? Many railroads used either Mars lights or GyraLites. Rio Grande, and Frisco are two that come to mind. Many of the E units had them and to me the additional light help the look of the E units. I am not trying to be mean, but do a search in the forums for Mars Lights or GyraLites. We have had threads on these about every 5 or 6 months. There have been many links given in the past that would help you.
