Heavy Iron object and I don't have a clue...

Found this.... Its about 19" long, weights 35 lbs, and has 252 D cast into it. I have search and search and can not find anything like it. Help

Looks like a chunk of some heavy machine tool, where did you find it?

Reminds me of this part from a steam engine cable rig.

Found it over the hill from an old narrow railroad depot.

My guess ... It is a piece of train hook...

Train Hook equals a "train coupler", .

Yeah.. what Ant said ... :P

You got the idea

Doesn't look heavy duty enough to be a train coupling.Still thinking some kind of cable splicing type of thing or part to a metal brake shearing machine or something along those lines.

My first thought was an old knuckle (railcar coupler) but I'm sure it's not that. Could be a part off a steam locomotive.
