All cars had brackets high on the end corners for the markers, so that any car could be the end of the train. The marker lamps were generally kerosene fired, but in the late 40's there were some that were electrical. Cars for the  1949 Powhatan Arrow had a socket on the side of the car near the bracket, where a cable from the marker could be plugged in. This may have been true with the other lightweight cars, but I remember seeing this feature on the 1949 cars from Pullman Standard.

 What type of marker lights were used on passenger cars to indicate end of train?  And, where were they located on the cars – rear, side or top?  Were all cars built to accommodate the markers or which cars were most often used in the end of train locations?  Any pictures or links would be greatly appreciated.
