Signal lights on passenger cars

Posted by ianclasper

I have seen a set of signal lights mounted on the side of Amtrak and Commuter cars. The light unit consists of three lights, however I have only seen the orange one lit, which I guess indicates that the passenger doors are locked.

What are the other colors and what do they indicate ?

Thanks
