Nice shots man. :)

Shawn, I don't see a Mars light in shot 1... I'm assuming you're referring to the red class lights on the nose?

Nice shots, at any rate.

I think the bottom light is a gyro.

Yes, the red light. Last I knew, Guilford/Pan Am disabled all those class lights. Or at least painted over them.

Mars light huh? Being a Conrail fanatic, I call 'em Bug-eyes. Conrail's nick-name for the red marker lights. Most of GRS's locos had white markers, but I think is one of the ex Conrail GP40s they acquired back in the 1990s, hence the red markers. Very few railroads purchased 2nd generation locos with red markers. But heck, Conrail did it through their SD80MACs.... but anyways. Pretty good shots. I'd say better if it wasn't GRS. :P :+ ya know I'm just joking ;-)

[Guilford343]

Yeah.. you'd better be joking. ;) lol
Nice catch on 334 and 335 right next to eachother, just noticed that! :P
I've got 350, and 351 together, elephant style in that order, with a GP40-2 trailing them; and 348 and 349 elephant style, all alone.

No MARS or Gyralites...

Red= Marker Lights

White= Class lights.
