Good answer and explanation. Nice switch lock key.silverswede said:I worked for the Union Pacific a long time back and keys like that were assigned to switchmen on the line. They would unlock the padlocks that secured the switches on the main line.Were quite important because if a switch was left open an the main line you could send a train off unto a siding at a pretty good speed and jeopardize alot more than your job. Things are all controlled remotely now.
Very true, I guess the next question to Green Frost is , Which side of the country you on? West coast or east coast?Mackaydon said:PCRR could also represent the Pacific Coast Railroad
