Do switcher show white headlight and red rear lights during work in the yard or do they show white at front and rear to simplify operations?
Very few US locomotives have class lights anymore, red or any other color. A headlight on dim serves the same purpose. Yard switchers are required to show a dimmed headlight on both ends. Although, it is permittable to extingui***he headlight that is next to a cut of cars.

it shouldn’t be a problem if your locomotive is equipped with directional lighting…but in most yards i’ve traveled by, both lights on the switch engine are usually on…chuck
