Sweet lock, and do you have a better shot of the plate or what does it say? Looks like a railroad stamp?
And strange that the driving band is gone from that shell like that.

It was about an 80lb cast iron sign. Made in 1889. It reads " these are the grounds and property of the ccc&st.l. ry co not a public thoroughfare all persons are forbidden to trespass thereon. "
