OK guys, this has me stumped. I found this in a box of post war Lionel and Flyer. Anyone know what it is?
Looks like some sort of accessory trip to me. Anyone know what accessory if I'm right?

A total guess, but it almost looks like a bracket for a hard drive for a computer. Most newer laptops that use the smaller drives have a slide in bracket that keeps the drive in place.

As good a guess as any, but I doubt that it would have a wire clip like that on it if it were for a laptop drive.
Looks like an American Flyer operating car contact. They had the contact sticking out of the trucks for the cattle and milk car. You can see the cutouts on the ends of the corners for the truck contacts to climb up. I'd pull out mine to verufy, but it's buried under other train stuff in the basement.
It is an AF operating car contact, it clipped on to the track the pickup on the car made contact.
