Description
This
four-way
railroad
lantern
was
made
by the

,
New
Jersey
around
1937
and was
used
at the
Collinwood
Railroad
yards
in

County

lantern
was the
standard
method
of
signaling
from the
caboose
area
to the
engineer
. The
dimensions
of the
lantern
are
18
"
x
8

cm)
. The
village
of
Collinwood
,
located
about
six
miles
from

on the

side
,
became

of
major
repair
shops
and
switch
yards
in the
1870s
.
It
was
used
by the
Lake
Shore
and
Michigan

,

accelerated
rapidly
in

.

was
completed
, a
major
power
house
was
needed
at
Collinwood
.
World
War
II
saw
the
climax

industry
in

switched
