In British railway slang, 'cherries' refers to the red indicator lights or colour-coded markers used to signal a rail gap or track discontinuity. The term comes from the bright red colour resembling cherries. More broadly, rail workers use vivid fruit-based colour slang to quickly communicate track and signal conditions, keeping communications short and clear in a noisy environment.
