[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by StillGrande The strobes are so the locomotives can be seen at a distance. The blinking attracts attention. That is why they put them on school buses and some garbage trucks. The idea is to make someone look and be aware of it. The blink in the corner of your eye will tend to make you look in that direction and notice whatever it is better than a steady light. Blinking ditch lights are designed on the same theory. Also radio and cell phone antennaes. A steady light tends to be less noticeable. [/quote] Do all railroads have flashing ditch lights in the US? Here in Canada ditch lights don't flash.
