Notes
This was given to Mr John Ham of Hunter NY by a New York Central employee who formally worked on the Catskill & Tannersville prior to the 1918 closure. It remained in his position until 2015 when I bought it from him. He used it in his book Narrow gauges of the Catskill mountains ( along with his SC&CMRR key) the line was 5.4 miles long and to this writing (05-11-2026) this is the only key known to exist. Key comes with lock.
