What marker lights are used on "Madison" heavyweight observation cars?
Looking for more prototype photos of "Madison" observation cars with end marker lamps.

Depends on the railroad. Since there were more than one manufacturer of kerosene & electric markers, there would be many different variations, not to mention the color they were painted and the location/method of mounting.
Also, for what it's worth, the term "Madison" is a "Toy Train" passenger car, which the railroads never used.
Yes, real railroads called them "Irvington" cars. ��

Some railroads used red and green marker lights, others (notably Santa Fe and Rio Grande) used red and yellow.
