This volume deals with lamps for bridges, yards, crossings, marker lamps, signals, and train order lamps. The markers became a vital tool and proliferated when trains began to run at night. Some fifteen companies' lamps are detailed here with some eight to nine hundred photos or drawings. A remarkable effort by a passionate collector.
