RailRoad Locks

Now for something completely different... Railroad locks. I have a small collection of these switch locks that were part of a fellow's collection that I acquired with the knives and bayonets he also collected. Interesting in shape and form these locks are anything but modern! Railroad switches were guarded and locked mainly to keep kids from changing the tracks in rural America as well as the big cities. The locks are rather rudimentary but built for long lasting and out door  use. I picked a few just for fun and while mildly challenging making a key for one was actually fun! So here we go, locks!
