#S282's and S060's Headcode
meager isle
The dev may implement the headcode as a train customization, but I don't know if that will happen.

In Russia is:
1 white and spotlight - head of maneuvering loco/train
2 white and spotlight - head of loco/train
1 white and 1 red + spotlight - head of loco/train that goes on the wrong way
1 red - tail of loco
3 red lights = tail of passenger train

Why all these special codes for trains?
Was it just for stations or signalers to know who is who?

Was it just for stations or signalers to know who is who?
So signalers know to what type of train it is and it's priority (like a express passenger train having higher priority then a light engine) and can be used for what route the trains on.

well in england
get ready for a rant here
we used bell codes to determine what class of train it is, and used for logging
at mainline speeds it would be very hard in a 132 lever something box to spot something go past and identify each specific wagon
so they just spotted the headlights
and at stations (Where a headcode could be changed) a signaller would either be inform or would observe the changing of the headlamps
like
it could go frommmm
empty wagon to express passenger

What boards?
pseudo radish
Those circles on British trains? I didn't know they actually meant something
Or at least I simply didn't know what they were for.

They mean something
Like when the lamp is in the middle
Its a shunting train
Each lamp placement repreccents a priority
So that the signallers know what train it is and what priority

And the southern had 6 brackets and it denoted the route
