There are four sub-types:

Type 4a: Stone, with a metal coat of arms affixed to the shaft of the obelisk. Presumably made for a specific pre-1845 railway Act. No surviving inscription, but there are rows of small holes on the plinth, which look like sockets for missing raised letters which would have formed a nine-line inscription.
Type 4b: Stone, with a raised coat of arms in stone as part of the shaft. Presumably made for a specific pre-1845 railway Act. No surviving inscription, but there are rows of small holes on the plinth, which look like sockets for missing raised letters which would have formed a nine-line inscription.
Type 4c: Stone, with the City's shield on the shaft and the incised inscription "14 & 15 VIC. / C. 146." on the plinth.
Type 4d: Cast-iron, with the raised inscription "14 & 15 VICT. / CAP. 146." on the plinth. No shield or coat of arms. Maker's name: "FALKIRK IRON WORKS" on base of plinth below the inscription.
