These are the headlights of Santa Fe Locomotive 93 on display at the Great Plains Transportation Museum in Wichita, Kansas. I never realized that these are mounted on a door leading into the nose of the locomotive. I’d always assumed that the only way to enter the cab was via the doors on either side.
This diesel electric locomotive was built in 1967 by by General Motors Electro-Motive Division (EMD) and was donated to the museum in 1999.
The museum is raising funds to give Number 93 a badly-needed paint job. You can learn more about Santa Fe 93 here: http://www.gptm.us/html/santafe93.htm

Ah, those lovely 100,000 candle-power PAR bulbs. You can feel the heat coming off them from feet away.
Pyle-National made most of those headlight holders, I can't quite figure out who made those...
If nothing else, the nose door is a good way to ventilate the "facility" after a prior crew member has used it ;)
