Default LEDs on the front of Picc trains.

Its a "calling on light" it illuminates to tell the driver of the train
behind, that the train is in trouble of some kind, and will call the train
behind forward to assist. Once that light is on, the assisting driver is
assured that the train will not move.


The light over the door is to assist with detraining in emergency.

But I thought that the light in the window is to indicate that the handbrake
is applied.


It might be a good answer, but as there is no handbrake to apply on 73
stock...
