Some CSX locomotives I've seen don't have them. Some leasers have flashing also, and Conrail had flashing.

Yea some CSX C40-8W's don't have them, the ones that CSX originally purchased, not the ex-CR ones.

You should take a look at Eyen's ditch lights or at G Trax ditch lights on the Amtrak unit, that aud to point you in the right direction !!*ok*!!


Well I'm stoked. Just did a search and found this http://www.rail-videos.net/video/view.php?id=7883 which is bang in the middle of my route (the CCR starts to the right of that silo, Southern Loops are dead ahead and the other 15 odd miles of S-Line and marshalling yard in Conover behind the camera). So I've confirmed 3 things in the past 5 minutes... 1: The mainline on my route IS the S-Line (I was 99% certain but there was some debate) 2: The circus train runs through it (YAY!) and 3: There are trains running on it with flashing ditch lights.

So it's sufficed to say that I'll be pulling apart the P42 to figure it out like you suggest.
