Do you happen to know if they are planning to display this in DC as well (or perhaps they already have)?

Love the duct tape cabling and the blue flag.

Blue Light Special

Curious why all the cables running over the top of the console.

In brightest day, in blackest night,
No evil shall escape my sight
Let those who worship evil's might,
Beware my power...Blue Lantern's light!

Can anyone explain the "blue lantern" to european railway fan?
|
Libor, it means that the equipment shouldn't be moved or coupled to. Here's perhaps more than you wanted to know: http://trn.trains.com/railroads/abcs-of-railroading/2006/05/blue-flags

The blue flag is protection for other crafts like Carmen or Roundhouse guys to perform work on equipment. TE&Y have their own rules for employee protection but the "blue flag" is universal and is a non-TE&Y version of a "redzone" or "3 step". When a locomotive is blue flagged one is only allowed to turn on the dome light and NOTHING ELSE without permission from THE EMPLOYEE who personally put that blue flag on the engine. Anybody who violates that will quickly find themselves marking up on the Living Room Pool...I hear the hours are pretty nice on that pool ;)
