CLCX, LLC (DBA Chattahoochee Locomotive Company) had a problem that needed addressing. Incandescent lights on the outside of its locomotives were wasting too much power and were not providing
sufficient bright light to effectively illuminate the steps, couplers, and trucks of the locomotive. Lighting around a locomotive is very important to the safety of the train crews. Poor lighting can result in injuries from missteps when walking, stepping onto or off of a locomotive, and when making couplings or hooking up train line air hoses. Poor lighting is an industry–wide concern, according to the Federal Railroad Administration.
