This damaged strong box lock is from the Missouri, Kansas & Texas Railroad (1870-1988). It was more than likely damaged during an attempted holdup, as it's been pushed in at the face. Food for thought. In the most daring deed of the Dalton Gang to date, on July 14, 1892, eight members held up the Missouri-Kansas-Texas train at Adair, Indian Territory.
