Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At some 770 pages, Barrett is only two-thirds finished (a third volume is due in 2004). 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.
