There has been a discussion in the Erie-Lackawanna Fallen Flags forum about the colored lights mounted by the destination indicator boards at Hoboken to enable homebound commuters to identify their trains by color without having to be near enough to be able to read the board itself. The question was raised whether this has been done anywhere else, and Reading Terminal in Philadelphia was mentioned. Another poster asked whether this had ever been done in Chicago; I don't remember whether I ever saw anything like that at the C&NW station, and I'm wondering whether C&NW used colored lights or anything similar. Also, did the IC, MILW, or RI ever use colored lights or a similar device?
