I don't know about the F and E units as SP never ran them here on the branch
so I didn't get to play on them. The upper light on the F's and E's might have
been a combination light something like the large barrel shaped lights on some
switchers and early road switchers? or it might just be big enough to have the
three lights spaced around it??
Somehow the barrel lights mechanically switched from white to red when the
loco was stopped on the main or in other warning situations. I can't recall
seeing one apart but when one switched they looked like they did it with some
kind of hinged sections or internal dividers.For a while back in 1957 or 58 an
SD7 lead freight would stop and switch the furniture factory near my house and
I recall watching the light switch from white to red. ...DaveBranum
