Hi James,
As I recall, there would be on the marker light, two or three red lenses and
one green lens. If I can recall clearly, when a train enters a siding and
waits for the other train tto clear the mainline, and the switch is thrown
for the mainline, the marker lights would be displayed in such a way that
the red lenses would face to the rear of the caboose and to the side, the
green lens would face the front of the train, and thus the towards the
approaching train, signifying that the switch is thrown and he is clear to
proceed. Anyone else have another senario in mind? Would like to hear the
other uses.

Hello all,
I'm looking for some information regarding cabooses and marker lights here
in Canada, specifically, what do the red and green lights that can be
displayed to the rear of the train signify, and what colour flags could be
flown from the van (and why?).
