The results of the controlled field tests indicated
that the triangular lighting pattern used with each
type of auxiliary lights (crossing, ditch, and
strobe) increased detectability of the locomotive
compared with the use of the standard
headlights alone. Each system provided a
distinctive, uniform light pattern that motorists
could recognize as signifying a locomotive.
The crossing light system provided the best
overall performance. The increase in detection
distance provided by the crossing light system
(over that of the ditch and strobe systems and
the standard headlights alone) was statistically
significant, providing a greater safety margin.

I've started using a Cyclops LED lamp in the head light with the halogen bulbs on the light bar. Thinking that the different light colors may have an positive impact. I also use a Kisan LED Pathblazer...
