 Train headlamps - IJWS14
Illustration of the problem - at 125mph if you can see something on the track you ARE going to hit it, you cannot stop in time. Even at 90mph you have not got much chance, and if you are in a large frreight train doing 45mph you will see the driver put the brakes on and jump - after all there is nothing else he can do and why wait in the cab for the collision.

The headlight is to let others know you are coming - and if you look closely at the lamp many bear the description "Hair Raiser"
