I was thinking the other day and why has nobody thought of putting Red & Green lights on locomotives for safety? When the locomotive is stationary (and idling) the 2 Red lights turn on. When the locomotives is moving the 2 Green lights turn on. To make running a long locomotive or a enclosed locomotive long hood forward easier, why not install a camera on the back? The locomotive has a camera on the back, then through wires it transmits the picture to the cab. In the cab there is a retractable and compact CTX projecter that displays the image on a piece of rolled down plastic. The plastic would be resting on the electronics cabinet. To minimize glare the person(s) in the cab would roll down some blinds to cover up most of the windows.
