A brakeman demonstrating a stop signal

A brakeman on the Indiana Harbor Belt Railroad uses a fusee to demonstrate a hand signal indicating "stop".

A fusee is a pyrotechnic device similar to an automotive flare that is used as a signaling device on North American railroad lines. Since a fusee can only be used once, it is normally reserved for emergency use only.
