Hey Y'all... A train is defined as a locomotive with or without cars coupled displaying lights and markers. A moving train must display a bright headlight in the front, and dimmed in the rear and display a red warning marker in the rear, either red flag by day, or red light from dusk til dawn. The use of red lights is FRA mandated. Flagging your train is no longer required unless the CTC/ABS goes out and you are running steam era blocks. Then and only then is the flagman required to guard the rear of his train, either by flag or lantern and fusee, and that torpedoes must be laid down, unless the dispatcher gives you an absolute block. Rules governing blocks are subject to the railroad you are running on and the timetables. Kenny is absolutely right. Mileposts or familiar landmarks are used to guage the position of your train. You know by your documents how many feet the train is so you can round and guess. Railroads do have measured test miles that you are required to check.
