Uniform in old photo

[Jack Daniel Noe]

This unidentified man is in an old family photo album. The photographer was C F Linge of Stockholm who was in operation 1866-1880. My question is about his clothing- I have assumed that this was a railway signalman's uniform- do you think that's right, or could it be something else? Thanks!

I think you are right. Have a look at the caps of the stationmasters here:
