WRRS 12 inch lights?

Post by freebrickproductions »

Did WRRS ever make any 12 inch lights? I think I may have found some:

I think those are just regular WCH 12 inchers, cause WCH also uses a box around the logo, and when I took a close look, I think it actually said WC Hayes on it.

Quite possibly, though the logo also looks like a Harmon one as well.

Maybe it's just me, but I kinda see the Federal Signal/Western Cullen logo on the lights in that first link..

They're indeed WRRS lights from looking at the cantilever on the other side. There's another known set in Michigan as well!

When did 12 inch lights even start appearing? Wrrs has been gone since 1968 according to what I've read.

I first starting seeing them (at least in my neck of the woods) around 1980... give or take a year.
