Union Pacific Blue Cast Globe

Different lantern globe colors signify different functions. A lantern with a true blue (sometimes called "cobalt blue") globe signifies "Rule 26". According to this rule, a "blue signal, displayed at one or both ends of an engine, car, or train, indicates that workmen are under or about it; when thus protected it must not be coupled to or moved." Shown below is a rare blue cast globe made for a tall-globe lantern and marked for the Union Pacific Railroad.
