Tail lights

We still use them in my neck of the woods, though have to send them off to the depot for charging. Not entirely sure why the headlamps are rechargeable but the similar tail lamps aren't though!

The headlamps have a much brighter light and are on continuously rather than flashing, so will get through batteries much more quickly.

With just one it would continue in service but be attended to asap. In these days of LED it tends to be both as it's usually a power fault. In that case red light in the window or portable tail lamp & jobs a gooden.

I would have thought that Modern locos or units would have independently wired Tail lights with their own Mcbs etc, thinking about it though I suppose not many locos are modern.
