HISTORICAL NOTE

During the golden age of steam travel, railroads were the backbone of American industry. Switch keys and station keys were strictly controlled and often stamped with specific initials (like the B&O or the Union Pacific) to prevent unauthorized access to the rails. These keys evoke the grit and expansion of the 19th-century railway system.
