    I believe the top of this is some sort of Railroad light. I found it in an antique store in Albany Oregon. It appears to me to be some sort of concoction (the pole and base were added to the light). No matter cause its cool anyway.

      I like the Mobil trash can, I used one of those for yrs for my dirty wrags that would get picked up by a wrag service.

      It is a switch lamp, It would set atop of the switch-stand. The blue light would show the train crew that the switch was thrown to pass thru the switch, red would be switched to the turnout.
