Idea for train strobe headlight and train crossing mirror

There are flashing headlights on trains now a days but there does not seem to be a train strobe headlight to attract the most attention.  In addition, one flashing light could be pointed upward so that drivers could see the train coming at a longer distance.  This upward pointing flasher would illuminate the air/smoke above the train similar to those skylights highlighting a new store opening.  The result would be a column of light above the train that could be seen a long distance above surrounding objects.
In addition, the traffic crossing signals could have a right angle mirror to catch this flashing headlight and reflect it to drivers approaching the intersecting train track.
Possible Start Building Blocks –
  • Existing concepts for emergency vehicle lights, aircraft searching lights, flashlights, camera flashes, strobe scopes, see-around-corner mirrors, prisms, etc.

  • USPTO Class/Subclasses for "How-To" ideas - 362/459, 362/528, 246/474
