Nah, FRA regulations just state that the locomotives have to have ditch lights or it's restricted to 20MPH across public crossings at grade. Around here Amtrak has the flashing ditch lights, but none of our CN units do... every once in a while we get an old BCOL or some other foreign power that has them, but it's actually a rarity.

My other ride has 4,400+hp and corners like it's on rails... because it is.
