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:
“It seems to me that the god that is commonly worshiped in civilized countries is not at all divine, though he bears a divine name, but is the overwhelming authority and respectability of mankind combined. Men reverence one another, not yet God.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Other countries have history; we have nothing but contradictions.”
—Christina Stead (1902–1983)
