Brakeman’s lantern
Sources attach this name to the 1 place below. The name itself is part of the folklore record.
The brakeman's lantern is the Gurdon Light's named explanation — the swinging light over the tracks attributed to a decapitated brakeman still searching for his head. The grisly specificity is classic rail lore, and the legend is eight decades old and still drawing watchers. The tracks keep his lantern swinging.
