Aspects of the disclosure relate to a lantern/multi-functional hand-held LED light for railways. The lantern/multi-functional LED light may provide a rail worker with one light device to be used for many railway applications. The lantern/multi-functional LED light may have a two-sided light capability and the ability to provide warning and lighting on both a front panel and a back panel of the lantern/multi-functional LED. The lantern/multi-functional hand-held LED light may include one or more of the following features: two-sided with extra-bright warning LEDs orientated in rows that allow the lantern/multi-functional LED light to light-up a work area, multi-color with different flash rates, sensor to allow for orientation position indication and automatic ON/OFF on one side, bottom base magnetic mount, two bright top-mounted LED lights and two side-top LEDs that allow the lantern/multi-functional LED light to be used as a flash light.

A railroad crossing light detector system is disclosed. The system includes determining a first signal indicative of the amount of light emitted from an illuminated railroad crossing light source and determining a second signal indicative of the orientation of the crossing light. The first and second signals are transmitted to a signal determination module that compares the first and second signals to predetermined stored values. The compared signals are then provided to a railroad crossing controller for relaying to a central/remote monitoring location. In the event that at least one of the signals is out of range relative to the stored value, then an inspection request signal together with information on the location of the crossing light is provided to the central monitoring location. In this manner, the number of in-person inspections to the crossing light may be significantly reduced.

Examples of the disclosure enable a signal device to be securely coupled to a post. A post-mount teeter includes a stand including a first body, a first flange extending from the first body, and a platform coupled to the first body, and a base including a second body coupled to the first body, a housing coupled to the second body, a second flange extending from the housing, and a sleeve selectively moveable within a cavity defined by the housing to adjust a distance between the sleeve and the housing. Aspects of the disclosure provide for a teeter system that may be used to present signals to one or more users approaching a signal device from one or more directions.

A light stick, primarily useful in the locomotive industry for signally between train personnel, includes a longitudinally extending housing which contains a first light source and a second light source. The first light source provides for general purpose illumination of the light stick. The second light source provides illumination primarily for purposes of signaling. The light stick may include a lens cap which is positioned at a forward end of the housing, and from which the illumination from the second light source may extend. Preferably, the light that is emitted from the lens cap has a blue color for purposes of railroad signaling.

A railway signal replacement lamp module apparatus, including a lamp housing sized to fit within a railway signal housing and a receptacle to contain a solid state light source within the lamp housing. Some embodiments include, in combination with other aspects, at least one spring-loaded connector integral to and positioned within or on the lamp housing to interface with an electrical conductor feature of a railway signal; and a thermally conductive material disposed on an exterior surface of the lamp housing to provide a thermal conduit from an exterior of the lamp housing to an interior of the railway signal housing.
