Thanks, Bill. Perhaps others may circa date this group, the engine(s) used for?
I could be wrong, I don't believe this is LIRR, unless the old MUs used them,
For certain, these are TA equipment. The electric brake plug was used on the R1-9 equipment.

I gotta go with the TA tools. I’m a retired M/M and I carried the brake handle and the reverser key. Being IRT I was never issued the brake plug but I know what it was used for.
There was no reverser wrench for the MP-54s (nor do I think any other pre MTA cars. Maybe the MP-41s). The 54s had a handle that combined reverse and forward. Ask the people at Westinghouse why…
