Vintage Railroad Keys
« on: September 02, 2014, 07:05:57 pm »
I was told that these were old railroad keys from Central Illinois. Anybody know the possible worth of these three keys? Thank you.  ;D

Illinois Central Gulf RxR

Illinois Central RxR

Try searching for Railroad Switch box keys.

Depending on the railroad they can sell for up to $25 each. Average price $7 - $18

The one that has not been ID'ed is Norfolk and Western, N&W. I think KC has pretty much nailed the value, the top end for those sold locally to the RR
