Indian Railways Asks People What ‘X’ Sign On Train Means
The ‘X’ factor of #IndianRailways
Do you know what the X sign on the coach means? #TwitterX #TheX pic.twitter.com/wjJ0o2W4Z0

The large “X” symbol behind the train’s last coach may have caught the attention of many passengers, who may have pondered what it represented.
The presence of a yellow “X” on the track indicates that all of the train’s coaches have passed. The symbol’s presence also enables the railroad authorities to establish that the train has passed completely, with no coaches remaining detached.
This explanation was posted by Indian Railways in one of their posts in March. South Western Railway posted a picture of the last coach with a big yellow ‘X’ on it, asking users to answer a question about it. The post has by far received over 189.1K views and over 1,282 likes on Twitter. Many users gave out some hilarious replies, while some genuinely explained it.

Elon Musk Removes Blue Bird

Twitter now sports a new logo, which was unveiled by Elon Musk. The blue bird logo is now replaced by the new logo ‘X’. This is the latest significant change made by the Tesla CEO after acquiring the social media network for $44 billion last year.
Since Elon Musk bought Twitter last year and reduced its staff, the website has had numerous technical issues. Twitter has been looking for alternative business models to reverse its decreasing ad revenue. The introduction of the $8-per-month Twitter Blue premium subscription hasn’t really taken off.
The blue bird emblem, which has become synonymous with Twitter, has been its most valuable asset. However, Dogecoin’s Shiba Inu dog temporarily took the place of the logo back in April, increasing the meme coin’s market value by as much as $4 billion. (As per India TV news)
