Old Railroad Lantern part?

I can't find anything like it on the web. Definitely railroad. Any ideas?

Is it a charcoal pot for heating up soldering irons??

It has a slot to insert glass in and I found it in a ravine along an abandoned railroad line (that line was the New York new haven and Hartford railroad as embossed on it)

Then it could be a signal light.
