My wife has one similar from her grandfather who worked for C & O Railroad. The handle
is covered in yellow plastic and the battery cover is painted red. Does this lamp have a lens cover
for the bulbs or is it supposed to look like your photo?

My Lantern is a Justrite model # 40 similar to the one pictured above except, Mine is gray W/ a yellow handle and a yellow label that says "THE TRAINMAN","JUSTRITE","Manufacturing Co. Chicago" on the side. These lanterns use a standard 6 volt lantern battery that can be found in any hardware store. The bulbs were usually GE# 502 but they are only 150mA. These bulbs can also be used: GE#'s 27, 31, and 407(Blinker) which are 300mA and brighter. But the GE# 425 is the brightest @ 500mA. These bulbs are all 6 volt miniature screw base. The brighter bulbs have a shorter life and will also shorten the life of your battery. I found that the American made bulbs work the best because they have the right Focal Point which projects a better beam.

I have the model 40, same as the one shown only with a yellow vynyl type covering on the handle. I used same while working got the railroad, early 60's. stamped CRNJ, central rr of new jersey. I removed the battery many,many years ago. I believe it was a 6 volt square battery with spring type terminals. Where can i fing a battery ?

Many railroaders still use these today for night time signaling/inspections.

Lantern looks like a Justrite "Trainman" . Southern Pacific Railroad quit giving out Justrite's in the Portland, Oregon area in 1961 to their trainmen and switchmen.

I have this style but UL rated to be intrinsic safe i guess it might have been used in a chemical/oil refinery. My question is where can I get the missing lense/cover for this lantern. Thanks for your time on this
Roy Oh... and yes it works quite well and is in generally good shape.
