Anyone have any idea what this is and was used for? I found it today. There seems to be a problem with an electrical board inside. I think I can fix it, if I know what it is suppose to do. Lol

I believe that is a railroad hazard warning lantern, which would be used to warn train operating crews that there are personnel working under, on, or between parked rolling stock (cars).

Yep, blue is used by U.S. railroads to indicate a crew is working on a piece of equipment in an active rail area.

There are a couple of good FB forums for barricade, hazard lights such as this one. They will be able to tell you more, and maybe help with parts or repair suggestions...
