    The auxilary headlight was added to both PRT 5326 and NO 832 for night
service during the Washington County Fair.  At one point on Wednesday
evening, there were 5 cars running in revenue service.  If you have ever
been on one of these cars in the evening, the original headlights were not
designed for rural operations.
    The lights and brackets were developed by Dave Carpenter and were
powered by a 12 volt battery inside the car.  They were removed after the
fair.
