Well, the Caltrain commuter rail that runs between San Jose and San
Francisco uses only clear (white) lights on the front of the train,
and red on the rear.  One of the lights (the uppermost one, IIRC)
oscillates; the others (two or three, I forget) are steady.  All are
very bright.

The lower 2 non centered of the three non oscillating lights are called
"ditch" lights.

Thanks.  Bear with me, I'm kinda new to all this train stuff.  I
dabbled in HO as a kid, and am only recently getting interested in
LEGO trains.

Trains are on the upsurge as a theme among adults (thanks in large part to
all the clubs and their activities). And this 10020 both confirms the
momentum (why build it if it isn't going to sell?) and will help build that
momentum.

We have a lot of traffic in this newsgroup now, it's great, but it can be a
bit overwhelming. But all of us old hands (I've been a railfan since before
I could read) are happy to share info, so don't apologise for asking! Just
bear with US as we may not always be as amazed about certain things (that
we've "always" known) as you are.

XFUT: back to lugnet.trains

(thanks for that!)
