Interesting fuel tank shape on that fourth unit.

If so, he may have been tucked away in the hole for a while, turned his headlight off in respect of an opposing train, and simply forgot to put it back on. Just a theory.

Yes, I noticed that fuel tank shape too. Kind of stands out on telephoto shot. Jim Baker Riverside, CA Date: 10/14/17 13:53 Re: UP freight, No headlight, Coming at You!,... BOO!

Yes, there is a siding/double track about a mile or so back. Jim Baker Riverside, CA Date: 10/14/17 18:52 Re: UP freight, No headlight, Coming at You!,... BOO! Author: railrider I saw the head pat hand signal done at the Deleay Beach FL SAL depot in '65.
