Flashing yellow is a common indication. CN uses it on the ex-GTW even where new signal equipment has been installed. What you will see along the IC is two heads where most roads are using three.

Re: CSX Train Location Updates - March 2022
So, only 59 cars and they're using a rear dpu on 326. It seems as though they use a dpu on trains that wouldn't need one, and then you get a 326 with 120 cars with two lead units and no dpu. Just an example, it's what I've noticed. I'm sure weight of the train as something to do with this. Sometime...
