Railroad Key, any help?

[RyanM87]

I found this Railroad Key, in South Mississippi. Found about 8 inches down at a 1907 home site. Any information on a date/which railroad it was linked to? I found a few, but I was a little hesitant on Michigan, but am looking for some direction or information on it. Any help would be appreciated.
