It is your opinion that they are warning lights and a p.r. stunt. You say
this is likely correct as it is the simplest explanation. Is it? That is not
what I was told, and I was given that explanation by railroaders, engine
service employees of the CPR. And again I make the case and ask the question
that if they were warning light why were they not used on other trains?
Doug
The corollary argument is that if they were used for spotting icicles
why where they not used on other trains? If it was a safety issue as
you suggest then would it not be logical to apply them to all other
units running through the Rockies west of Calgary?
