I haven't had the opportunity to see very many Midland Terminal lanterns over the years.  I'm sure due mostly to the fact that the MT used Colorado Midland lanterns and globes for the most part.  Photos of any additional frames or globe styles would be greatly appreciated!

GLOBES;

mtglobe.jpg (14501 bytes)  Clear etched xb MID.TER.RY. So far to date, this is the only Midland Terminal globe that has shown up.  I've heard of others, but no factual ones have turned up so far.  Anybody out there have another or different style? 

 

Very few hardware items from this road are known to exist, so I'll include the locks and keys on this page as well.

mtcast.jpg (21321 bytes)  Brass cast MTRYCo   Just like the CM lock of the same style.  The slots were used for an additional boxcar seal for double protection on high grade ore shipments.

mtlock.jpg (14570 bytes)  M-T-RY steel Adlake lock with a patent date of 1912.  These are the most common style of MT locks known.  The patent dates vary from 1912 through 1920, up until there is no patent date shown.

mtkey.jpg (6192 bytes)  M T RY made by Fraim. 

mtrykey.jpg (12757 bytes)  MvT RYv     made by Adlake.  Notice the periods are actually a small "v" rather than a period.

If you have a key with a different maker or lettering style, feel free to send a note!
