I just scored a Southern Pacific Mini Maglite off ebay. I think the price was pretty fair ($19.99+free shipping.) Southern Pacific no longer exists, but it is still my favorite railroad.
I have another railroad flashlight: a Bright Star 1618 from the 1960s with UPRR (Union Pacific Railroad) labelled on it.
There is a lot of 4 (eff-oh-you-are) Burlington Northern RR Mini Maglites on ebay for ~$102. It's a bit out of my price range, but someone else on here (CPF) might be interested.
There is also a beat up Fulton Industrial flashlight that was a company issue for AMTRAK selling for ~$15. I would have bought it but it's too beat up for the price.
There are also several brakeman's lanterns floating around on ebay all the time, but most of the time they are out of my price range.
I had promised myself to cool it with the flashlight collecting and not buy a flashlight unless it was previously used by railroad workers or the specific model was/is known to be used by railroad workers, including railroad police.
So I was wondering if anyone else collects railroad issue and promotional flashlights (beside's the conductor and brakeman's lanterns.)
