Railways asks netizens meaning of 'X' written on train coaches

Creating curiosity among the netizens, the South Western Railway asked the people the reason behind writing the letter 'X' on the back of a train coach.

Captioning the post "The 'X' factor of #IndianRailways. Do you know what the X sign on the coach means," the Railways also posted a picture of a train coach with a bold yellow 'X' written on its back.

The meaning behind the 'X' in the Railways is that it indicates the end of a particular train. It is an indication to the station guard that no other coach is left behind or will join the train, due to which it is always written on the back of the last coach of a train.

The question related to the 'X' on the back of a train made an instant connection with Twitter owner Elon Musk's recent decision to rebrand Twitter to 'X'.
