NYO&W RR Lantern Dietz Vista: The image depicts a vintage metal lantern, featuring a glass enclosure for the light source, protected by a sturdy metal cage design surrounding the glass. The lantern sits on a flat surface with a blue background, accentuating its rustic and weathered appearance. The top portion of the lantern has a series of circular ventilation holes, suggesting its use in safely housing a fuel source such as oil or kerosene. Its handles and metal frame highlight a functional design, for use in outdoor or rugged settings such as on a railroad for signalling.
