Our "Fast Mail" consist of cars that are a mix of heavy weight and streamlined baggage type mail storage cars. In this case, the rear of the train is brought up with a private car and a coach being transferred from Los Angeles to Chicago. Both of them have interior and marker lights.

 EL CAPITAN

It's amazing how bright and big the glow is from L.E.D.'s and the camera make them look twice the actual size. The "Drum Head" says El Capitan and is powered with a 3 volt grain of wheat bulb inside the car body. I don't want any flicker like you get from wheel pickups, so again, there is a AAA battery pack in the car for these lights as well as the interior ones.
