Brass horn sounding a single note.
Used to give the driver the train departure order. Use of the horn was obligatorily regulated by the instructions issued by company management.
The attached photograph shows not only the conductor’s horn specifically described here (at the top), but two larger horns assigned to workers performing maintenance on the line to signal the arrival of a train or any event requiring attention or involving a danger.
