I always found this one funny. It is still used in Belgium to warn about trains crossing a road. The only thing is that steam locomotives retired 40 years ago to be replaced by Diesel and Electrical ones all over the country.

The reason they persist in using the steam loco as a pictogram is that the outline of an electric loco (with the raised pantograph) would be confusingly similar to the pictogram for guided buses and trams ("street cars"), which is a bus with a pantograph on it's roof.
