I've checked and searched the forum for information on ditch lights and can't seem to find a date for FRA compliance. Can any of you real railroaders provide me with a good date for FRA mandated ditch lights. When where railroad required to have them on board.
I'm doing a GP-38 upgrade and want to be prototypical.

From what I can determine, testing began in 1991, but the mandate happened 1996-1997. The link is for a pdf file.

The Canadians mandated them much earlier (taken in Calgary, July 1979.)
