Single Light Railroad Signal
  REDUCED 

 


 
click

This single lamp signal was completely disassembled and rebuilt with thoughts of displaying as a yard decoration. The original wiring and lamp base are all preserved to look just as it originally did. The bulb still works and replacements are currently still available online. The base has an ID for 6” pipe or I also have the original mount which has not been refinished yet that allows several signals to be mounted at varying places on a 6” outside diameter mast. The unit is very heavy (approx 250 lbs) and would likely require a pallet if buyer cannot pick up. I am located in the Cleveland area and would happily show it to anyone who wishes to see it. Asking price for the rebuilt Signal Light and the original mount is $650.00   NOW $400.   I also have an 11 foot mast with base which features a ladder and perch which could be purchased separate.  Please feel free to call with any questions via cell any time at 440 382-1137.

Kansas City Terminal Railway Switch Lamp w/ targets

  SOLD 



click

This beautiful and functional kerosene switch-lamp is in near perfect condition except for a few dings on the targets, you can see them in the photos. It is an excellent example of an Adlake (Adams Westlake) kerosene switch lantern. The interior is in as good condition as the exterior, there is no rust or rot of any kind whatsoever and the removable burner is in perfect condition. The bakelite color on the targets is original. The few blemishes could be made to nearly disappear with a proper fill and match paint.  The lamp bottom is set up for the rectangular shaped switch stand, which is the most common standard. The rectangular shape prevents the yard employees from putting it in the wrong way!  The previous owner got it from the original owner, who said that it came from the Kansas City Terminal Railway. I have no reason to dis-believe him, but at the same time there are no markings specifically indicating as such. Asking price for the lantern is $450.00  (REDUCED to $350 ) plus shipping (UPS ground by default) or potentially pick up in Southern California.  I looked for a long time to find a functioning lamp in excellent condition, but I am now paring down my collection to a few hand-lanterns only to make room for new projects.  Use the form below to contact me.
