Just for general information, markers were made so only the red lenses were shown to the rear when the train was on the main. The other lenses would have been green/ green/ green or yellow/yellow/yellow (depending on the railroad). When a train takes a siding, the markers are turned so the red lens is to the inside and shows the green or yellow lens to the rear indicating the train is off the main and in the clear. The other possibility would be to extinguish the markers or remove them. The best practice is to turn them as they are made to be turned while mounted on the car's side.

Hey guy, I looked up your word for CUPOLO & there is NO SUCH word!! But there is a word called Cupola for a small structure on top of a roof!! Who ever told you that word you told us gets his/her-(teacher) A's and O's mixed up!! Thanks for showing us a running caboose at night, but I thought that Cupola's Don't have lights in them so that the Brake man can see the train at night for a burning wheel bearing or something wrong with a car!!!
That is cool 😎 👌 thanks for sharing 👍
Thanks for watching!
Nice little tutorial. Running of the trains is cool!
Thanks

Hi Roy, Thanks for the info. I know I make a lot of mistakes, it is fun learning about the correct marker lights.
What brand battery packs are you using?

Hi Vinny, actually the conductor would have a small light to be able to write his reports.
