It was used as an engineers light I think, or maybe a signalman. It is in real good conditon and hasn't been damaged in any way. I have always wondered how it was used in service cause the lights aren't very bright, and after reading some of the comments posted here I have some idea, but was there any lense caps, ie red, yellow or green that fit over the ring, or was this light made just to set on a flat surface? Anyone know out there?

I grew up in a railroad family and never saw one until the 1970's. At least the CB&Q didn't issue these. They used a "Justrite" brand. I was issued a Conger lantern in 1975 by the then BN Railroad in Lincoln, Nebraska. They just came to the BN around that time. The cost was deducted from my paycheck over 2 pay periods at $3.50 each. They had holders for 2 spare bulbs just inside of the screw-off lid. The bulb with the reflector threw a beam, while the other bulb illuminated a wider area. If one bulb burned out, you always had a back-up at the flip of a switch instead of trying to replace a bulb. You gave the engineer signals at night with your lantern back then and no light for any reason could be very bad news! The Conger lantern was lighter, but had a thinner body. They would dent easily, but everyone liked their reduced weight.
