On NR class they are labelled Ditch Lights. They do not shine
parrallel to the track but at a slight angle (in the ditch). 
Incidently NRs also have a switch marked 'Gauge Lights' yet there are
no gauges. All gauges are 'on screen'. The 'Gauge Light' switch
controls the lights that illuminate the switch panels.
