Never saw a Erie passenger engine with ditch lights. Got to pass..maybe next time....why do they do stuff like that.
The Erie 833 at the "Streamliner Event" here at NCTM.
On the prototypical E8s/E9s the ditch-lights are easily added and/or removed.

No Erie OR Southern E-Unit would have had ditch lights when they were in regular service.

Ditch lights didn't come into regular use in the U.S. until the mid-1990's, so if one wants these locomotives for modeling anything earlier, like the 1950-60's, they shouldn't be there.

Ditch light presence on a contemporary restored unit is another matter entirely.
