The report describes revenue-service tests of locomotive-mounted strobe lights used to make trains more conspicuous to motorists at rail-highway crossings. The testing, conducted in cooperation with four railroads, had the objectives of assuring practicality compatibility with normal operations, validating previous cost estimates, and obtaining a measure of safety effectiveness. Prior research underlying the tests is reviewed briefly.
