Call box

 

Call me?

This railroad call box stands ready for use at any time.  Here, at night.

 

These railway telephone boxes are used by the Dispatcher or the Maintenance of Way or the train crews to communicate with each other.  The striping provides additional visibility.  This box is not labeled; it is reminiscent of the train telephone boxes that had been installed on the Boston & Maine Railroad.
