Feedback:
When it's hard to see, we are required to have a highly visible marker displayed at the rear of the train, which is usually an ETD or dimmed headlight of a DP locomotive. An ETD has a photoelectric cell that will turn the flashing red light on when it's required. The DP headlight should always be on dim.
