With the news about Illinois Ry Museum getting a CB&Q U28B (
HERE), I got some questions...
On the nose lights, do both the white and red lights oscillate? Or only the white one?
Was the red light most likely related to train brakes? Perhaps to indicate train is in emergency?
And congrats to IRM!!! Best news in a long while. Is there any way to expedite getting it repainted? I guess steel work is needed to replace the original pilot and footboards. Time to solicit donations I think?
