Hello, all.

Dumb question but...I grew up in Springfield, MO, the big BNSF hub, and only get up there infrequently.

I was crossing the Kansas Ave. Bridge above the yards not long back and swore that I saw a locomotive with a halogen headlight and ditch lights in the bluish color that many automobiles (i.e. BMWs?) have.

I've seen these type of lights on aircraft recently but that was the first time I ever saw a locomotive with such lights, if that's indeed what I witnessed. (I was in heavy traffic and going to a relative's so I didn't have time to turn around and investigate it.)

Has anyone seen BNSF power with forward lighting such as this?

Thanks in advance.

I work out there and I havent seen em yet. Of course where I work we dont see new power until its not so new. Except for the DC GEVO's (big deal). Do you know the the locomotives number?
