What kind of engine's have tail lights?
I'm aware of some light rail/passenger type trains with white and red
lights on both ends, to run either way, but I haven't seen different
colored lights on engines other then marker lights which aren't really
in much use anymore. Most engines (in the US anyway) just have
headlights and ditch lights on each end along with small lights to
light up the steps, walkways, and number boards when needed.
