You may have observed when taking the train that the last carriage frequently has a large 'X' painted on it. Have you ever considered the cause of it, though? Nevertheless, the Railway Ministry recently tweeted an explanation of the symbol's significance. The likelihood is that their post will wow you.
“Did you Know? The letter ‘X’ on the last coach of the train denotes that the train has passed without any coaches being left behind,” they tweeted.
Also, they posted a picture of a coach with a yellow "X" on it. The description for the picture states, “The letter 'X' denotes that it is the train's last coach. Railway officials get a confirmation that the train has passed in its entirety without any coaches being left behind.”
