Dave,

Not sure if it was just a Salida-Gunnison thing but I've seen a lot of pics and some films where the brownish yellow flags are used in place of marker lamps. Not sure who would have implemented this, look at the footage Irv August shot on the Monarch branch the caboose in his films shows these flags. I assume the Conductor waving the big flag is a signal to the engine, but what it means I have no clue. Interesting thread.
