Why are sleepers painted in white & red in and around stations? I guess it's got nothing to do with platform colour, because I've seen the same painting on sleepers around stations without red platforms. So, does it have any technical aspect related to it? Please explain.

How can I physically identify the Dynamic Breaking Resistors and Auxiliary Power Units on EMD and GEVO (WDG-4G and WDG-6G) locos respectively? Can you please show a couple of photographs depicting the two devices on the said locos?

What is that tiny device on the left of the destination display board on the cabin front of Vande Bharat? On the right of the display board is the flasher, as usual. But what is that on the left of it? The same apparatus can be found on the Kashmir RCF EMUs also. Can somebody explain what it is?

As we came to know, under a competition by the railway board, every shed needs to design a prototype of toilet fitted locos. Based on that, India's first toilet fitted WAP-7 rolled out from Kanpur electric loco shed around March this year. I have a couple of questions with regard to the said loco, which I'm listing below. Requesting viewers to go through the questions and shed some light on them, please.

1) Does the loco have only a urinal or a full-on toilet?
2)

What is that tiny thing in front of the flasher, just above the windshield?
3) What is that small round device to the right of the flasher?
4) What is that big pair of tower-like devices on the roof on each door? The same can be seen on the rear end also.

Please refer to the image (courtesy: Saurabh, aka trainwalebhaiya, from Twitter) for my questions. Question points are marked with the respective question numbers in the image.

It'd be really helpful if you can clarify the points raised in the questions.

    These days, every other day, we are getting requests from members to allow email login to their FB-based IRI account. 10 years ago, we had given the option for users to login through FaceBook - in retrospect, this was a mistake. These days, apparently, users are quitting FaceBook in droves because...
