Con-Cor announced new "HO" and "N" Pioneer Zephyer
with the twin headlights
After
several accidents, the Pioneer Zephyr was modified in the 1940's to add
a double "Twin Headlight" assembly above the nose, and the rear
observation car. The second headlight on the nose was an
early version of the "Mars" light. A bright oscillating light enabled
motorists to see the approaching train from a greater distance.
The Con-Cor version of the "Twin Headlight" Zephyr will use a
flashing LED that will operate in both DC and DCC mode to simulate this
safety feature. The Pioneer Zephyr retained this "twin headlight" until
its final run on March 20th, 1960.
