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:
“The American adolescent, then, is faced, as are the adolescents of all countries who have entered or are entering the machine age, with the question: freedom from what and at what price? The American feels so rich in his opportunities for free expression that he often no longer knows what it is he is free from. Neither does he know where he is not free; he does not recognize his native autocrats when he sees them.”
—Erik H. Erikson (1904–1994)
“The contention that a standing army and navy is the best security of peace is about as logical as the claim that the most peaceful citizen is he who goes about heavily armed. The experience of every-day life fully proves that the armed individual is invariably anxious to try his strength. The same is historically true of governments. Really peaceful countries do not waste life and energy in war preparations, with the result that peace is maintained.”
—Emma Goldman (1869–1940)
