   I believe much of the Long Island Rail Road and ex PRR SEPTA lines   
   still use the amber position light signals, though upgrades may   
   have eliminated some signals.  FWIW, relatively new pictures on   
   nycsubway of the LIRR trunk line show signal bridges with PRR   
   style signals.   
      
   I don't know about former PRR lines now owned by freight carriers.   
      
   Didn't the Norfolk & Western, once owned by the PRR, also use the amber   
   position light system?
