VIRGINIA
& TRUCKEE RAILROAD
Item
# 12625
Brass
heart shape switch lock from the Queen of the Shortlines!
This W. Bohannon lock is stamped on the shackle V&TRR
in serif lettering. The lock has some dings and dents
but has never been repaired. Most of the early V&T
locks were dug and thus needed to be repaired to operate.
This one remains completely original and untouched.
All springs strong in this lock. It comes with an unmarked
key with the correct keying to function the lock. This
early 1870-80's V&T lock will be the prize of your
Nevada or western lock collection for years to come.
Don't miss the opportunity.

CLEVELAND
& EASTERN TRACTION COMPANY
Item
# 12602
Very
hard to find early Ohio interurban history here. This
Slaymaker hallmarked brass heart shape lock is marked
C&ETCo on the shackle. The lock comes with original
chain and clevis and beautiful matching key to boot!
The key is also marked C&ETCo and is a matching
Slaymaker hallmarked key. Hard to find the keys, but
finding a set together like this is next to impossible.
Nice early Ohio Traction history.

PENINSULAR
RAILWAY of CALIFORNIA
Item
# 12480
Peninsular
Railway Co. cast brass switch lock. P. RY. CO. cast
down the back panel as well as CS-13 and SWITCH also
cast. With track extending from San Jose to the Stanford
University campus in Palo Alto, and lines extending
to Los Gatos and Saratoga, it was one of the shortest
bay area interurbans. No doubt that this is one of the
hardest California cast locks to find and to our knowledge
is unique and the only surviving example from this Silicon
Valley juice line. Several references of the period
refer to this road as both the Peninsular Railway and
the Peninsular Electric Railway and we have both examples
of this CS-13 switch lock available. Truly a once in
a lifetime find from what has become the internet technology
capital of the world.

PENINSULAR
ELECTRIC RAILWAY
Item
# 12479
Looking
at this lock, most would conclude this is Pacific Electric
Railway, however the true roots of this relic reside
about 350 miles North. The Peninsular Railway of California
started operations under Southern Pacific control in
1908 with track being built mainly from Palo Alto to
San Jose. This road was never in competition with or
under contract with its southern counterpart the Pacific
Electric. The lock carries the CS-13 designation and
also the keying of the Peninsular Railway. Several references
of the period refer to this road as both the Peninsular
Railway and the Peninsular Electric Railway. True Pacific
Electric locks are cast CS-10 with the standard Pacific
Electric keying, making this one of the rarest California
cast switch locks in existence.

NORTHERN
PACIFIC RAILWAY
Item
# 11897
Northern
Pacific cast early version stair step heart shape brass
switch lock. This is the way we like to find them! Rich
dark brown patina covers this lock and before you start
thinking the paint is a eyesore, that paint is original
NP! It is the lighter brown shade found on the upper
portions of wayside buildings and depots. The lock comes
with strong mechanical springs, clevis, chain and S
hook. What a beautiful survivor with some added historical
color!
