Why is the ‘X’ mark on the last compartment of the train? Even those traveling by train will not know the answer

Every day millions of people travel by train across the country. This railway is also called the lifeline of the country.

The number of people traveling by train is very high. There are many things at the railway station or in the train. But people never think about these things.

Have you ever wondered why there is a mark of ‘X’ on the last compartment of the passenger train? What does it really mean?

Actually, it is mandatory to write ‘X’ on the last compartment of every passenger train. It is x yellow color.

The coach with X Mark is not for the general public, but for railway officials and employees.

The compartment of the train on which X is written is the last box of that train. This means that all the coaches of the train are safely connected.

The ‘X’ sign for railway employees and passengers is an indication that the rail journey is completely safe.

The last compartment of the train often has a ‘X’ sign with ‘LV’. ‘X’ and ‘LV’ signs are important for railway employees.
