"At some point, I don't remember when, the ICC demanded that all locomotives with high mounted head lights had to have a place for crew members to stand while servicing the light."

My guess is that this occurred during the mid- to late 40's, which would explain the "beauty treatment" on the PRR's locomotives (the PRR always preferred high mounted headlights).
