Other Countries
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:
“Other countries have history; we have nothing but contradictions.”
—Christina Stead (1902–1983)
“At the end of one millennium and nine centuries of Christianity, it remains an unshakable assumption of the law in all Christian countries and of the moral judgment of Christians everywhere that if a man and a woman, entering a room together, close the door behind them, the man will come out sadder and the woman wiser.”
—H.L. (Henry Lewis)
