The smaller lights were marker lights. The two upper ones were red and the two lower ones were green. There was a toggle switch in the car labled "RED - OFF - GREEN". The rule requirement was that the red markers were to be displayed, and under certain conditions the two green markers were required to be displayed when the train was stopped clear of the main track.
The large center light is a Pyle Gyralight with a red lense. At the time, the rules permitted it to be used in lieu of markers.
