But night operation required light to see with and to signal with. Thus, the railroad lighting industry was born. As competition grew, the manufacturers increased the pace of innovation to product more competitive products. Here is the store of that industry. In 28 chapters this 400 page hard cover book covers 90 manufacturers and more than 360 railroad lantern models. Also included are chapters on globes, burners, distributors, and jobbers. Six appendices cover rumored manufacturers, lantern terminology, lantern patterns, lantern collectors organizations, lantern rarity, etc . ISBN NO.1-884650-00-7.
