This headlight would have ridden lit the way for many years on a Housatonic Railroad locomotive. It has the original lens, (a couple of inside chips to the bulls eye rings, but no cracks), and the original body. The Housatonic Railroad was one of the first railroads that existed in the northeast. It was built, among other reasons, to take advantage of goods flowing from the many industries of Litchfield County, in the Housatonic Valley.

Estate Auctions Inc has made this opportunity even more attractive with free shipping to anywhere in the United States. The auction closes March 11, 2013, at approximately 9:30 PM EST.
