| Keywords: at&sf atsf santa fe santafe railroad vehicle train outdoor locomotive ATSF 301C eastbound stopped at the depot in Winslow, AZ in July 1972. Rick Smith on Facebook commented: This sun-facing unit, well illustrates the shop-built Delco-motor driven red-and-clear rotating warning lights peculiar to ATSF F7s and PAs as retrofits. The photo capture of the offset position shows the inward cant of the sealed-beam bulbs mounted on a plate which rotated about a straight-forward projected axis, rendering either a red or a white signal flash as observed from a distance. While the light did not gyrate in the manner as did Pyle or Mars brand signal warning projectors, the "rhythmic" metrical flashing seen from a distance was deemed just as effective. The beam pattern, however, resembled that of Pyle Gyralites, although by opinion not as interesting (or as intriguing) as that of the Mars.
