Footnotes

• All markings are reported as collectors have identified them. No attempt has been made to verify authenticity of any marking. The accuracy of this material is not guaranteed.
• No ownership information is maintained with the survey listings. All new markings sent in for addition to the list are treated anonymously, and no ownership information will be disclosed.
• Markings in blue are shown as published in "Key, Lock and Lantern" (#87, Spring, 1988, p. 1679) which presumably means the specific lettering that was found on the lanterns. In the case where initials are given, matching them with a specific railroad can usually be done by consulting one of the railroad name references by Edson or Gross. However, sometimes there is ambiguity due to the fact that the same initials (e.g. B&A RR) may stand for more than one railroad (e.g., Boston & Albany Railroad or Bangor & Aroostook Railroad).
• In the table, "bb" means bellbottom; "wb" means wire bottom. Assume wire bottom unless otherwise noted. "Pat." means patent -- usually the latest date stamped on the lantern frame.
• Inaccuracies may exist in this table with respect to the presence or absence of periods after letters. Most "The Adams" markings had periods but occasionally some did not.
