on X on the last box of train. Have you ever wondered what this means? This X mark is made of white and red on the last bogie.
Not only this, on the last compartment of many trains, a lamps of electricity have also been started. This lamp glow once in 5 second. Earlier this lamp was glow from oil. But now it glow from power. According to the rule, it is mandatory to have this mark on the last bog of every train.
Apart from this, there is also a board on last bog of train where 'LV' is written. This board is written in English and its color is black or white. This board means the Last Vehicle. If a train has passed and the staff does not see the LV board, then it mean that the entire train has not come. In this situation emergency action is started.
