the actual NKP 753, unbelievably the cover photo on a recent calender.

as you can see, the NKP used a clear lens MARS light. talking to local residents who saw this locomotive in operation, even during daylight hours, it improved the visibility of an oncoming engine.

i for one would like to see 765 refitted.

i understand it is still in storage.

cheers...gary
