(SOLVED) button help

I found this button about ten years ago and never could figure it out its a 2 piece with a train and the back in gone. Looked at it yesterday and decided to put it up.

It is the front of a rivet-button from a Trainman's overalls. That type (showing a train engine or train car) seems to have been first manufactured in the late-1870s, on into the present, with the vast majority being made in the latter-1800s into early 20th-Century.

Thanks that was fast I thought it had something to do with that but I couldn't find anything about it.

For some reason they are setting these RR buttons in a pendant. I thought this may be of interest. There are several on Etsy. Antique Train Button Necklace Vintage by CompassRoseDesign
