Are the marker lights on the CN ES44DC 2200 series engines always red or can they be changed to white or green?

I looked up a picture of a CN 2200. I think the lights are red only and are used as markers when the engine is used as a pusher on the rear facing backwards.. They are strictly markers' and not class lights IMHO. .
Thanks Gregg. That was my understanding too. Not much info on the marker lights. CN units made now are same as U.S. except for microwave ovens.
Don't the Canadian engines also have a hotplate and a "billy" (for boiling the water fro make tea)?
Yep along with a fridge and coffee pot. No microwaves yet in 1990 ?? . (or dynamic brakes)
At the crew change off point it was the head ends brakeman's job to clean up, sweep the floor, fill the coffee pot ready forthe next crew.
