5 3/8" Marked Globes
Following are known
markings of 5 3/8" globes, which were used in "tall"
lanterns. Markings in blue are from the original "Key, Lock and
Lantern" survey articles. Markings in bold red have been added
since the articles was published. Please see copyright information and
other comments in the footnotes.
Markings are grouped by railroad and have been recorded as accurately as possible. However, due to the nature of the surveys, there may be inaccuracies, particularly with regard to capitalization (e.g., "Y" vs "y" in "Ry"). Next to the markings are letter pairs (or in the case of cut globes, a letter followed by "Cut"). The first of each letter pair indicates color (C = clear; R = red; B = blue; G = green; Y or A = yellow or amber) and the second indicates type of marking (C = cast, E = etched, unless specified as Cut). For example, CC = "clear cast" and BE = "blue etched ". Two letters separated by a slash means a two-color globe, e.g., G/CC = "green over clear cast". Logo globes are those globes which have, as part of the marking, artwork which was a trademark of the railroad, e.g., the B&O Capitol Dome.
