    Can anybody help me identify this metal plaque? It was found recently on the tracks in Ste. Genevieve, MO. It's a little over 12' long and 5" wide.

    Looks like a brake badge plate which shows the proportions of the links and levers in a freight car brake system.

    Thanks for the input, Karl?

    Anybody have any additional info, such as age? The young fella that found it is curious.

    Stumbled across this in the FEM October 1929...
