A lot of the Older Trains, Like the S Sets and R sets don't even have Headlights!!! Makes it kinda hard to use :-) When we do have them we usually keep 'em off in busy areas as more of a courtsy, stop blinding the drivewrs comming the other way.
Thought I noticed that some steam locomotives had no headlights.
I'd like to see ahead, looking for any problems; obstructions or trees across the tracks, etc. - not that by the time any are seen, one could stop quickly enough.
But at least one could start braking.
South of Denver, Colorado USA, where a road closely parallels a track, engineers kindly dim their headlights where they would blind drivers.
what are they 2 sets of lights?

At central the signals on the north side of the station, are they supported by the gantry?

In the Netherlands we have 1 Green, 1 yellow, and 1 red. Some signals have a box with white lights for showing a number (max speed).
Possible signals:
Green, Blinking green, Blinking green + number, Yellow, Yellow + number, Blinking yellow, Yellow + blinking number and red.
example blinking green: watch?v=0qpNtJBOoh8
Example Yellow + blinking number (was a signal test) watch?v=EGBRt4vFLW8

Great video! I notice you CityRail guys don't use headlights at night. They'd hang us down here for that!

Why NO headlights?!
Headlights could always be dimmed or turned off.

if there is an obstruction on the tracks, I'm certain that the signalers would stop the train concerned.
