Signal Lamp Oil

Recommended Posts

Does anyone know any exact information about signal lamp oil as used by railroads up to the 1940s or a bit later? It appears to have been less flammable and more viscous than kerosene. I have this information - Density 35 degrees Baume or 0.848 sg, flash point (don't know whether open or closed cup) 280F, fire point 315F and pour point 30F.

 

Is there a modern product that has similar properties?
