Lanterns used to signal trains and railway workers. In the days before city lights and GPS, railroad lanterns served a very important purpose: they communicated signals at night between trains and stations. Sometimes, a timely lantern signal meant the difference between life and death.

Switches on bottom attached to the ends of the handle. It was worn by a brakeman on his arm so that he would have two free hands to work with. This lantern belonged to D.E. Douglas (Chic) |
