Vintage Railroad Boom Light Lamp Crossing Gate Light WRRSCO 1585 3

Vintage Railroad Crossing Warning Lamp Light. Manufactured by the Western Railroad Supply Company (WRRSCO). Lamp markings indicate "1585 3" for the part number.

This lamp works great and has its original DC voltage bulb. I rewired the lamp to replace the old aging power cable with a new one. The lamp socket was also old and sketchy also, so I replaced that with a new one. So all the core electrical parts have been replaced. Then I soldered a female 5.5mm/2.1mm DC Voltage Female Barrel Connector on the end of the new power cable and now that can connect to a standard 12VDC power adapter (also included).

I added an in-line on/off switch to the cord and included that as well. Now you can plug the lamp into a standard outlet and it also has an on/off switch. Most of the time you see these old lamps offered for sale with the cut cord and you have to develop your own plug-in solution, but I've done all that work for you!

The metal lamp housing and arm are in good shape; I only gave them a gentle cleaning to remove dust buildup, so they still have their aged, vintage, rustic, industrial look. The red glass lamp globe has no cracks, but it does have a few chips in places, which either adds to the rustic look or is off-putting depending upon your point of view. If you want clean and perfect, this item probably isn't for you unfortunately. You could utilize the boom arm to develop a unique mounting method or just have it sit on a desktop as shown in the pictures to become a functional display piece. Great man cave gift item!
