Cody Grivno answers the question about which railroad the lantern with CMx comes from.

The markings are actual of the globe manufacturer and not of a particular railroad. If you want to know more about markings on lanterns or structures that you find along the right away. Send us an email to AskTrains@trains.com. And if you have more questions about the Corning NONEX globes used in railroad lanterns, leave that information in the comments field below.

  1. Hi Cody/Dave: I’m trying to customize a Walther’s Plymouth switcher, and I was wondering what the dome on the switcher was for. Can you fill me in?
    Thanks,
