Well, there's some interesting history connected to that. Originally a man waving a lantern was used at level crossings, in the same way as the "T" man. Outside of major cities, sometimes the train would have to stop, and one of the crew would do "lantern duty." Some of the first automatic signals were "wigwag" that had bells and moved a pendulum in the same movement that was for the lantern. When flashing lights (which have no moving parts) became practical, the wigwag's days were numbered.

Do you have the Spanish version, Speech Balloon, T for Train (T - Tren)? If you do please upload by request. Thanks.
Yeah, I know the one you're talking about. I live an hour north of Boston and I use it to get to Fenway Park.
