What is a FRED/EOT?FRED stands for Flashing Red End of train Device, EOT stands forEnd Of Train device. In the mid 80's when the railroads stopped using cabooses, they still needed something to indicate the end of the train and so the FRED/EOT was born. It is usually attached to the coupler of the last car in the consist. In addition to having the flashing light it also has a sensor to measure brake air presure and a radio to send the information to the engineer in the lead locomotive.
