Reply to "Mars lights"

A question for all the Union Pacific steam experts.   When the UP #844 was in regular service until approx. 1962(not the 1962-now excursion engine versions),   what color lens was used on the Mars light? 

Red, just as it was originally installed about 1946.

 Was the lens always red or was a clear lens also used during that time period? 

Yes, always red. Just like the Milwaukee S3 Class 4-8-4s (#261 for example).

 Thanks for the help

Nick
