Offered is a vintage piece of American Railroad History ; a Great Northern Railroad Lantern with a Signal Green CNX Lantern Globe. The frame is an Adams & Westlake, Adlake 250 Kero and is embossed on the dome GNRY. The lantern frame is in excellent condition; overall clean metal, stands straight, no extra holes drilled, bent, broken or missing parts.
Lid has some minor dents. It comes with a correct Adlake 250 fount and burner. The fount and burner appear to be in working condition, with no visible holes and should hold fuel and burn if desired; but not tested. The wick easily adjusts up and down.
The Signal Green Lantern Globe is in excellent condition; free of damage such as chips, cracks, scratches or cloudiness. As with any globe that was used in actual railroad service, there may be some minor nicks on the top and bottom rims that dont show when the globe is seated in the lantern frame. The roots of the Great Northern go back to 1861 with the creation of the Minnesota & Pacific , in 1862 the name changed to Saint Paul & Pacific , then in 1879 to Saint Paul Minneapolis & Manitoba , finally becoming the Great Northern in 1890. The Great Northern existed from 1890 until 1970 when it merged with several other railroads to form Burlington Northern. In 1997 the Burlington Northern merged with the Santa Fe to form what is todays Burlington Northern - Santa Fe , which still operates many of the former GN lines.
