Great locomotive and location, but that triple light looks plain ugly!

Interesting.  On the triple lights I've seen, the bottom light has been red.
Thanks for the interesting posting.

Evidently the red roundel on those Oscitrol fixtures was prone to loss or breakage.  Santa Fe's handful of Oscitrol-equipped SD40-2's came with the bottom light red, but it's not hard to find photos of them with the bottom light looking clear instead:
