Headlights

[Peirce]

I am looking here to see how many varieties of head lights and mounts we can find.

This one looks to be rigged to mount on top of the smoke box.

Johnny Trains sent this steeple-cab and its rather prominent headlight.

Now here is a contrast. John sent this pic of modern headlights on an Amatrak genny.

Thanks, Perice!

The steeple cab is a 1912 ex-South Brooklyn RR loco. It's on display along with many other fine subway memoribilia at the New York City Transit Museum in Brooklyn.

The Genny was shot in Penn Station, NYC.

Quite a difference in the two different headlights! tongue.gif

Great pics! I love the steeple cab! I forgot all about them being used in subway service!

One good steamer nose shot, with headlight, deserves another, so here is another of Johnny Trains gems.
