Blue flags, staffs, and holders for protecting workers on, under, or between rolling equipment — the hardware that puts blue signal rules into practice.
Red Flags for Fueling Staff
High-visibility red flag protection for fueling operations, keeping servicing crews visible and protected during locomotive fueling.
Derail Switch Barrier Gate Arm
Physical derail and switch protection that blocks track access while crews work — a visible barrier to back up your blue signal protection.
