In the old train time table, train order days the colored lights were used as follows.: <br />white light and white class lights signified an extra train, no timetable authority <br /> <br />green light and green flags signified there was a following section ( another train using the same timetable schedule of the first train. A very important signal for the trains in the siding in a timetable meet. This was a visual clue, as well as any train carrying green had to blow 1 long and 2 short to that train in siding and hear 2 short and a long whistle in response to bring to their attention they were carrying green flags. <br /> <br />red markers had to be used on the tail end to signify a train. If engines were running light the trailing unit had to display red markers to comply with the rule. <br /> <br />All has become obsolete except the tail end of any train including engines must display a red marker of some sort on the tailend. <br /> <br />Brent
