Hello #Train-bubble!

There are a lot of #metro trains in the world with this colour distribution:

Top half yellow, bottom half red, often separated by a black line.

Do you have any idea, where this colour scheme originated?

Or do you have photos from the place you live or a place, you know?

In #Berlin, it has been used since electrification of the metro system in the 1920s until today.

More examples ⬇️
