I find it interesting that the Karl Helft photo at Maltiempo shows the engine carrying class lamps while engines currently carry permanent metal extra flags. Since presumably all cane trains run extra, I wonder what the purpose is? At some standard gauge mills cane trains sometimes venture out onto the mainline to reach branch lines so here class or extra flags would make sense.
