Generally in railway practice, each end of a locomotive has two marker lamps, and each marker lamp housing can have two colours — red and white. Normally, the marker lamps are lit with white on in front and red on in rear. Shunting locos in yards often have marker lamps on all the time at either end as they keep switching directions. In case of unexpected defective headlamps, white mark lamps will be lit on for temporary illumination on the track ahead. Red light is on if a single locomotive is running alone at night for safety purpose. The lighting source of the marker lamps ranges from incandescent bulbs, sealed beams, LED lights, halogen bulbs, etc.
