RAILROAD LANTERNS REFLECT THE AGE OF AMERICAN RAILROAD LANTERNS THEY REMIND PEOPLE OF AN ERA WHEN TRAINS WERE RUN BY STEAM POWER AND WHEN MOST FACETS OF PERSONAL AND COMMUNITY LIFE HAD SOME CONNECTION WITH THE RAILROAD. (A RAILROAD LANTERN IS A METAL CAGE A TRANSPARENT GLOBE THAT PROTECTS AN INNER LIGHT SOURCE. THIS DEFINATION APPLIES TO LANTERNS USING COMBUSTIBLE FUEL RATHER THAN ELECTRIC. MY FATHER WORKED ON THE RAILROAD FOR YEARS. THE TRAINS TAT CAME IN WERE THE CANADIAN PACFIC, BOSTON&MAINE, OLD494, AND GREEN MOUNTAINEER. I'D LIKE TO SEE THE RAILROAD RETURN TO WHAT IT WAS!!!
