    Can anyone explain the intended usage of these locks? Regular U.S. Mail pouches would have been locked with standard postal locks, not railroad locks.
    Thanks,

    Company mail comes to mind. Agents use to remit cash in an envelope sealed with a string and wax dealer. I have a heavy canvas bag they gave me at Laredo and it’s stenciled ‘company mail’.
