1. A railcar shove light assembly comprising:
(a) a turbine; (b) a first case having at least a first air input port and having at least a first air output port, the turbine being rotatably mounted within the first case; (c) an electrical alternator, the electrical alternator being capable of producing an electrical current output; (d) a rotary drive linkage operatively interconnecting the turbine and the electrical alternator; (e) electrical illuminating means; (f) a network of electrically conductive wires electrically interconnecting the electrical illuminating means and the electrical alternator; (g) a second case having a rearward end, the second case housing the first case, the turbine, the electrical alternator, the rotary drive linkage, the electrical illuminating means, and the network of electrically conductive wires; (h) mounting means supporting the electrical illuminating means upon the second case, mounting means positioning the electrical illuminating means for rearward illumination; (i) a compressed air conduit communicating with the first case's at least first air input port; (j) a railcar rear coupler having a flag post socket; (k) a support post having upper and lower ends, the second case being fixedly attached to the support post's upper end; and (l) a pin fixedly attached to or formed wholly with the support post's lower end, the pin being nestingly received within the railcar rear coupler's flag post socket. |
