Feb 7, 2012 - Neat catch on seeing both beacons turned on. The orange one is fr visibilty can help crews locate were engines are in railyards. The red one has one use I know of either low oil pressure or the water in the engine is getting to cold. I don't think that is the case here though I think they were both manualy turned on. Either way great catch! Metra is really the only railroad that still uses beacons on ll their engines. I hope this help, This videos is going under my favorites
. . . . . . . because these video appear directly from youtube.com which we cannot control it.)
