The use of distinctive - coloured lights on railway engines was suggested by Mr. G. H. Pirrit during a discussion at the December meeting of the Morrinsville branch of the Farmers’ Union. He said it was very difficult for a motorist to tell whether a train or a car was approaching in places where the road and railway were parallel. If the motorist stopped to investigate it was sure to be a car, and if he did not- stop it was likely to be a train. (Laughter.) Mr. Wellsted, of the Railways Department, said he would refer this point to the department’s engineers.
