What on Earth are these things with the blue lights on top (left of the block signal)?

I can't figure it out, my buddy who's an engineer and conductor can't figure it out, Google can't figure it out. Please help.

Is there a call box nearby? If there is, the light might be a signal to contact the dispatcher via a land line.

Not by this one, I don't think. Here's the full picture.

That might be a call box near the base, or it could just be a relay case. Haven't ventured over to look.
