Solid steel weighs a ton. About five and a half inches wide a deck board.
I'm sure it's train-related but what?. IMG_20180320_174637194.jpgIMG_20180320_174647615.jpgIMG_20180320_175134074.jpgIMG_20180320_175145441.jpg
 

It is something they stick under the wheel to keep the train from rolling

It is a Rail Road Car Friction Wedge. Part of the truck suspension as best I can tell.
