All:
I recall reading that train number boards (the lit 'boxes' on either side of the stack above the handrails) were considered standard hardware on new locomotives after a certain date. Thus the K-28s and K-36s were delivered with them, though the D&RGW alwasy displayed locomotive numbers in them (versus UP/ SP).
My question is, why does 487 no longer have its train number board? Also, why has D&SNG taken off train number boards off their K-36s?
