Great pictures, as always.

If those bar codes had been in monochrome instead of color, the whole 
system would still be working. The bar codes fell apart because the 
medium that they used to achieve color was not strong enough. Probably 
just paint.

Black and white bar codes work perfectly, and can do anything that color 
bar codes can do, but more reliably and with greater longevity.

Also, the code stripes should have been vertical, so that they could be 
read with a slit camera. Horizontal stripes force the use of a frame 
buffer.

Whatever. As any fan of Ric's train pictures has figured out, railroads 
and trains are their own world.
