Railroad Lanterns

[NW Mailing List]

The blue globe would be a repair track color.  Same purpose as a blue flag:  A warning not to move the equipment protected by a blue flag or light because a worker could be working on or under that particular piece of rolling stock.

  Can anyone tell me the significance of the different colored globes on railroad lanterns?  For instance there is on on EBay with a blue globe, what would that designate, etc?  Thanks for any help anyone can give!
