Footnotes
- This material is copyrighted
by Key, Lock & Lantern, Inc. and cannot be reproduced or used
for commercial purposes without express permission from the Board
of Trustees .
- All markings are reported as
KL&L members have identified them. No attempt has been made
to verify authenticity of any marking. The accuracy of this material
is not guaranteed by Key, Lock & Lantern, Inc.
- No ownership information is
maintained with the survey listings. All new markings sent in for
addition to the list are treated anonymously, and no ownership information
will be disclosed.
- Markings in blue are shown as
published in "Key, Lock and Lantern" (#87, Spring, 1988,
p. 1679) which presumably means the specific lettering that was
found on the lanterns. In the case where initials are given, matching
them with a specific railroad can usually be done by consulting
one of the railroad name references by Edson or Gross. However,
sometimes there is ambiguity due to the fact that the same initials
(e.g. B&A RR) may stand for more than one railroad (e.g., Boston
& Albany Railroad or Bangor & Aroostook Railroad).
- In the table, "bb"
means bellbottom; "wb" means wire bottom. Assume wire
bottom unless otherwise noted. "Pat." means patent --
usually the latest date stamped on the lantern frame.
- Inaccuracies
may exist in this table with respect to the presence or absence
of periods after letters. Most "The Adams" markings had
periods but occasionally some did not.
