Sorry for the long title and I hope I'm in the right forum. My grandfather worked for L&N for many years (~WWII till ~1983, right as they fully became Seaboard) and he has a lot of railroad "stuff" that he collected over the years (legitimately of course). He has a random piece of metal stuck in his yard that didn't strike me until today as possibly being railroad related. Unfortunately, he passed away a few years ago, so I can't ask him directly, but would anyone here help me try and identify this piece? To me, it looks a little like a bar that runs between the two switch points in a switch, but I don't know how long it is, only about 12" are above ground.

Sorry the pics are so bad, I can get better ones this next week probably. But I'm at a loss as to what it originally was, and I'm hoping if I can figure that out, I might can figure out why he put it there.
Thanks for any information!
