I'm still a bit confused about this, but it could just be me. The answers
sound reasonable, but I'm still unclear about this. Looking at the photo,
there appears to be a passenger car behind the engine. I'm assuming that
based on the location of the engine and the car, that this is a short
passenger train. So to the original question -- why green flags?
