That one of the things that gave SP locos so much character compared to other roads IMO. When I first started looking at SP Oregon photos a year ago, that is what drew me to the SP. I can't get enough of those original SP light kits.

Only if Eugene still had those guys hanging around...

Thanks for sharing these photos.

Here's a few entries of my own. There's nothing like the old GP9 and SD9 light array as seen on SP 5623. Then you really have a classic SP light package on SP 6051, and the on everybody's favorite locomotive.

D&RGW LIGHTS?

SP always had awesome stuff...here's the best I've seen on Rio Grande 3109. Does anyone have the yellow warning lights on the roofs (sorry don't know the correct term)?
