Signal Head

[NW Modeling List]

I'm not sure when the change was made either, but if your signal head has
seven lights, then amber is correct, since the change to color position
lights involved blanking the center (seventh) light. However, if you are
modeling circa 1968, then color position lights probably had replaced the
amber lights, but your signal head would have only six lights.   Jim Nichols

Mr Nichols; Thanks for you answer. I am modeling the N&W circa 1968 and NS
circa 2000 (not both at the same time!) and for as long as I have been
chasing the N&W, since about 1985, I note that the amber lights had been
replaced with red, green and amber in the position light signals. Does
anyone know what time frame that change was made in? I do know that the
Pennsy used all amber in electrified territory and red, green and amber in
diesel territory; but again, not sure when the change was made. Thanks. Dan
