FRA-Compliant Rear-End Marking Device — 450 Hour Runtime, 2 mile visibility, IP64
The RH-EOT is a dedicated rear-end marking device for identifying the last car of a train, listed by Railhead as FRA approved and compliant with 49 CFR Part 221, using four red LEDs for flashing visibility up to 2 miles across up to 450 hours on two D-cell batteries, with a built-in LED indicator that confirms in daylight that the light is switched on and the photocell is activated, shipping with its mounting bracket and using two D-cell batteries (not included) on a 1-inch-diameter pin that extends 5 inches inside the knuckle and locks with a set screw, placing the lens centerline 51 inches above the top of rail when mounted as specified. Railhead specifically notes the RH-EOT is not intended to replace traditional end-of-train telemetry devices.
Best use case: Best for FRA-compliant rear-end marking of trains, using a compact, lightweight red flashing LED design with photocell activation, up to 2-mile visibility, and up to 200 hours of runtime on two D-cell batteries.
