My question is how will it work?
Hopefully MUCH better than what is currently being used on the freight railroads.
Has someone come up with a design yet?
Pretty much, yes.
Anyone in the know, know the cost of such a system?
Yes, the Forth Wayne Railroad Historical Society has pretty well worked the costs out.
I’m sure each steam engine will be different?
Why? They all should be able to use the same design.
Will it be a big rubber mallet that bonks the engineer in the head to let him know he ran a signal?
Sounds logical.
