✅ SOLVED What railroad is this lock from?

[Kevo_DFX]

Hi all, i found this railroad lock in SW PA. I assume the "P" stands for Pennsylvania, but I don't know what the rest of the letters stand for. Obviously, the RR is railroad...

There is a makers mark on the hasp that says "S & M MFG CO PHILA"

Could someone tell me which railroad it was from and the approximate age?

Thanks.

The logo appeared to have had a couple of variations, as well as the more current PRR logo.

Looks like this lock was discussed earlier this year.
