T.R.R.A Button(Union Station)

[rvrpilot]

Was able to get in about an hour hunt today before the rains hit,it was already muddy as
heck,I had been in the field about 45 min. when I hit a good button signal and out popped the
T.R.R.A button, its made by Scovill Mfc. co. Waterbury,made my day because it gave me a post
for today,right before I left the field I was able to pop out a 1900 indian head penny.
Its looking like the storms are about to pass on by,getting ready to hit another field,hoping
to have a post for this evening.

I realize your button has a Scovill backmark, but here's a Terminal Railroad Association with a Waterbury backmark.

St. Louis Union Station was completed in 1894 and served in its original role until 1978 when the final long-distance passenger train left its magnificent train shed (at one time the station also saw over 100,000 daily passengers pass through its doors). Unlike many railroad stations and depots it was not long, however, until Saint Louis Union Station found a new life as an entertainment venue when in August 1985 it was completely restored at a staggering cost of over $150 million and today is a National Historic Landmark.
When the Saint Louis Union Station was constructed in the late 19th century it was built by the Terminal Railroad Association of Saint Louis, which was jointly owned by the Missouri Pacific Railroad; Saint Louis, Iron Mountain, & Southern Railway; Wabash Railroad; Ohio & Mississippi Railroad; Louisville & Nashville Railroad; and Cleveland, Cincinnati, Chicago & Saint Louis Railway (later owned by the New York Central).

Thanks for all the replies,the button was found in Jersey Co. Il. about 40 miles or so from
the Union Station depot.I'm going to do some research and see if some one that lived
on this tract of land maybe worked for a rail road company.
