What causes the oil-like rainbow effect on the windows? (or did I just answer my own question?)

In aircraft a similar thing happens if you have the right angle to the window. It's due to the window having a special coating on it because it gets heated by electric elements on the edges. I believe the locomotive windows are similar.
