In February 2024, the Museum described a hexagonal platform lamp, intended to light docks. Inside it had an oil lamp, with glass chimney and metallic reservoir. The description does not identify the station where this piece was used.
The reservoir had the inscription MD MOVING. This detail belongs to the object described; it does not provide, alone, a station of origin. Compare it to the taillight: both produce light, but the lamp illuminates the embarkation space and the lighthouse communicates information about the composition.
