Lamp huts were small structures found on steam railways that were used to store and maintain the lamps and lanterns used for signaling and illumination purposes. In the early days of steam railways, signal lamps were manually operated by railway workers who would stand on the trackside and wave a colored flag or lantern to indicate to the train driver what to do, such as whether to stop or proceed with caution. As railways became more complex, signaling systems became more sophisticate.
