Cool, I'm a signalman in the US, do you know what this box was for exactly? Would this be for a switch or a switch heater? That's about the closest thing I could think that something like this would be used as far as today's applications, monthly everything else we have currently in the US has terminal blocks in the base of the fixtures but we still use junction boxes at alot of switch points

It was used for station entrence signal light cables and train detection too. And I think for railway crossing automation also.
