Description:
This railway signal lamp is a mid-20th-century piece of equipment, commonly associated with Indian railways around the 1940s. It was designed for practical field use, featuring a sturdy metal body and glass lenses that allow it to display multiple signal colors—typically red, green, and yellow—to communicate instructions to train drivers during operations such as shunting and track control. The lamp originally operated using an internal oil burner or candle, providing reliable illumination before the widespread use of electric signaling systems.
