1800's Heavy Metal, but what?

[JccEldreth]

Across the road from a small train station, near a old water bottling plant at a house from the early 1800s.
They weight about 5 plus lb.s each and are solid.
About 8" long and 4 wide.
Thanks again,

Looks like some kind of ground retention anchor or brick wall anchor bolt ?? They look like maybe they've been galvanized?. Do the rods look like they were cut off in some way?

Not really, in fact I would say the rod parts are almost rounded over, no sign of threads for a nut. Solid Steel. Tons of broken pieces of steal all around, looks like a big round boiler may have exploded or something in the front yard. I was thinking Rail Road related, just not sure what. Thanks though.

wood beam/truss anchor bolt?

wood beam/truss anchor bolt?

Maybe, it would just set between the drilled logs holding them in place. It has no threads for a nut. I have never seen such a thing, but there is a lot of things I have not seen.
I have been trying to place it with Model T cars or Horse tack and it just doesn't fit. Still wonder if there could be a train link.
