I notice that all trains shut off their headlights when an oncoming train approaches. This isn’t nighttime so why is it still necessary? If anything, the headlights are safety devices that help drivers see clearly and let others be able to see the train clearly. Yet they are turned off right at the most critical moments when visibility and safety matters most. Drivers won’t get blinded by headlights during the day.
@@michlo3393 Courtesy of what? Train engineers and conductors won't get blinded by headlights during the day. If anything they're needed the most when trains approach each other for increased visibility and safety.
@@edy21865 We know they're there. Locomotive headlights are really bright and even during the day can be a distraction. Especially the LED's on new locomotives. It's just a nice thing some people do. Although I noticed in this video some of the guys are shutting the lights off completely, I've only ever seen that in Canada. In the US we just go to dim.
@@marcomarcos9325 it's not in Kingston, the line that they use is called the Kingston subdivision, which runs between dorval in Montreal to Union station in Toronto. This particular video is shot in Pickering Ontario
It's not actually in Kingston Ontario, the line that it uses is called the Kingston subdivision and it runs from union station to dorval Montreal. The video is filmed in pickering Ontario

It's a courtesy.
