Old railroad lock ?

[TMAC in PA]

Found this old railroad lock before the Big Freeze here in Pa. I can’t find any old lock photos that match it. I found a lot of Union/ Pacific locks but none with just Union line on them. Any old railroad lock experts out there that can help identify it and is it worth anything in this condition without the clasp ? Thanks for looking. T Mac in Pennsylvania

That is an awesome find. Can't help with an Id but for me it would be priceless and go in the display case. Congrats on the save. Mark

Thanks guys I appreciate the comments. Still can’t find a photo of this exact lock but not giving up. More snow today here in Pa so with the deep freeze probably won’t get back out until spring

I gave you the exact name of the railroad and the manufacture so you could look it up? Any way here is the picture of the front and the back.
Nice find love the old RR memorabilia! Its actually a transfer company for a Pennsylvania RR

Thanks laplander. I appreciate the ID. I guess I just didn't put it in the search the right way.

TMAC… a cool lock with history, if it could talk, there would be some interesting tales.
