In Australia a number of safeworking systems require end-of-train devices on trains. They vary from simple flashing lights with no air brake connection, to complete End of Train Air System (ETAS) or Sense and Brake Unit (SBU) devices. During the 1980's these devices rapidly replaced Guard's vans at the rear of most freight services and came to be nicknamed 'Battery Operated Guard' or 'BOG'.

Famous quotes containing the word countries:
“In the life of the human spirit, words are action, much more so than many of us may realize who live in countries where freedom of expression is taken for granted. The leaders of totalitarian nations understand this very well. The proof is that words are precisely the action for which dissidents in those countries are being persecuted.”
—Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)
“General education is the best preventive of the evils now most dreaded. In the civilized countries of the world, the question is how to distribute most generally and equally the property of the world. As a rule, where education is most general the distribution of property is most general.... As knowledge spreads, wealth spreads. To diffuse knowledge is to diffuse wealth. To give all an equal chance to acquire knowledge is the best and surest way to give all an equal chance to acquire property.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
