Railroad Safety Lights

Safety is important while maintaining your rail yard. Railroad lights provide a variety of solutions for safety, illuminating and communicating status. Blue signal regulations are meant to provide protection for employees engaged in the inspection, testing, repair, loading and unloading, and servicing of rolling equipment, while on, under, or between such equipment.

Complement your blue flag protection with enhanced visibility. All blue signs must have lights if night operations exist. Aldon Company, Inc. offers safety lights for derails, wheel chocks and sign holders as well as personal protection devices to keep your workers safe.

Blue flashing lights on railways serve multiple functions, including signaling the presence of workers for safety, indicating a partially applied handbrake on some equipment, reminding staff of live exposed electrical equipment in overhead line systems, or identifying the limits of engineering maintenance possessions for train operators. An ‘engineering possession’ refers to a period when a section of track is handed over to engineering staff for maintenance or construction work, during which normal train operations are suspended or altered. Blue flashing lights are used to mark the boundaries of these possessions.
