What do the lights mean on train tracks?
Red means stop; green means proceed, and yellow means caution or approach, usually indicating that the next signal is red. For other aspects, the general principle is that green on top means main route or normal speed, and red over green or yellow indicates diverging route or medium speed.

What do white flags on a train mean?
During the day, locomotives use(d) flags instead of (or in addition to) the class lights. The colors mean the same thing – white = extra, green = additional sections to follow, red is a rear marker, denoting the end of the train. Short of state flags, you won’t see a blue flag on a locomotive that’s underway.
What do red lights mean on train tracks?
When you approach a railroad crossing and you see flashing red lights, this means that either a train is on the tracks or a train is approaching. In either instance, you should stop. Not only is it unlawful to cross the tracks while the red light is flashing, it also could prove to be fatal.
