Hi Joe others have made the assumption you have a traction cct in you track that being the case I an not quite sure how it is done but set up three tracks insulated from each other being up track, island track and down track overlay a cct on the tracks fit resistors of the same value of your locomotive motor in the caboose. The tree tracks are conected to a cct board which reads resistence in the track loco crosses into up track lights start, loco crosses into island track caboose still in up track lights stay on , same for next track cross over loco leaves down track but caboose is still on down track lights stay on caboose leaves down track lights go off it can be done I have lost the cct that would do it. each track mus have two insulated joints at each end one on each rail and a seperate traction feed and cct board with the control cct which feeds the flasher cct and stops and starts the lights.. It sounds a lot more comlicated than it was if you know an electronics wiz who is also a signal tech he will be able to draw up both the required cct boards for you and it will not affect the running of trains be warned though it is important that the caboose or other car at the back of the train has a resistor in it or the lights may stop with the train still on the crossing which will not look good regards John
