Midweek Trivia | August 5th
Stop me if you have heard this one before...
Answer to last week’s question: the historic 20th Century Limited
Early railroads used White (all clear!) lights for "Go" and Red for "Stop."
Why was the use of white light for "Go" abandoned in favor of Green? (Bonus points for the year the change was first recommended!)
And no AI/Google search cheating! Let’s test your knowledge.
Leave a comment with your answer.
Which is more important: trivia, or how RPA is dealing with the discontinuance of all trains south and west of Washington in October? Less trivia, more dealing with operational issues!
If the lens was missing the signal would appear to be white! My understanding is that this shortcoming was identified, and the change made, pretty quickly!
