Are you asking about "Classification lights", or "Marker Lights" ?

There is a difference.

The small lights carried on the front of older locomotives were "Classification lights", or "Class lights"

Marker lamps were on the end of a "Train" ....common statement was....."Markers bring up the rear.......

Then of course there is a difference in what constitutes a "Train"

Many people call anything that is on a set of rails, a train....this is not always correct.
