I had four railroad switch key auctions pulled tonight because it violated the Ebay government and transit uniforms policy. Specifically, "Subway and railway keys, tools, or anything that was once used to drive or control a subway or train, regardless of the age of the item. This includes railway switch keys (also known as, “switch lock keys”)." It sounds to me that I can't relist the keys because of the part "regardless of the age of the item". I can't imagine that they are still in use.

I found this out about a year ago after I purchased a collection of RailRoad padlocks and keys. I sold them at flea markets where there are still plenty of people looking for this kind of stuff.

Does anyone know if the brass switch keys are still in use? I would sell mine at the local flea market, too, if they would pay more than $5 each.
