Sorry, but my eyes aren't as good as they used to be, I had to resize your pics.
Very nice find with lots of detail, hopefully someone here will recognize your find.

Good find!! Looks like a private seal, but still could have been shipped by rail?

You kids and your technology ... I guess I'm still doing things the 'old-school' way.
I take a pic, crop it, email it, edit it, then I post it.

Maybe start by getting a little closer to the item you're taking a pic of, then crop it on your phone.
This is what I do out in the field and my pics usually come out pretty decent.
Don't be afraid to use the auto-focus feature on your phone's camera.

For example, here's a quarter I found a few weeks ago.

After cropping and editing.

I don't think it is a railroad seal. It is too small. Maybe a bag seal or a wine cage seal.

Any electricity in the area? I’ve sealed a few meters with that type of seal back in the day.
