Interurban "Castback" Lock. Brass "castback" locks from interurban lines are quite unusual. The example shown at right is from the Washington, Alexandria & Mt. Vernon Railway, an interurban line that ran from Washington DC through Alexandria, Va. down to Mount Vernon, George Washington¹s home. The line ran from the 1890's to the early 1930's. During the Depression it was combined with other lines. Photo by permission. See more featured items.
