Switches are marked and clear instructions exist on the requirements of the Operation of Headlights. The LE knows the state of his headlights during use at night by observation. However, with safety recommendation (102/97) in mind, Tranz Rail will review the current status of in-cab switch markings and if necessary improve these. The feasibility of fitting warning lights when locomotive are overhauled will be investigated.
