A couple of wazits

[Broncox Vernon BC]

I found these CPR things at an old school very close to railway tracks, I know they are railway related..but what for!.
They are made of lead and I think they might have had a wire or something that inserted into the lead before crimping closed with the CPR seal (kinda like the lock on the glass power meter, anti tampering ).
The other thing is this old key, could it be from a tractor or maybe an old car?
Any help is appreciated.

Sorry.........dunno how that coin got in there. But may as well show the other side...it's my oldest to date.
Also the other side of the key.

They are indeed lead seals used to prevent tampering with the boxcar.If the seal was broken you knew someone had tampered or tried to enter the boxcar.

That coin looks like a seated liberty in a wheelchair. The key and seals I don't know much about either.
