The "rabbit" is an ALSF - Approach Light System Flashing (or Approach Light Sequenced Flashing, depending upon who you're asking) "which appear to the pilot as a ball of light traveling towards the runway at high speed (twice a second)". The "RAIL" to which you referred is actually a "REIL"; Runway End Identifier Lights which is a system that "consists of a pair of synchronized flashing lights located laterally on each side of the runway threshold".
