What is it?

I guess it's for metal working or a railroad tool.

Very heavy about 5 -6 lbs. Hinged front end about 1.5 ft long.

One eBayer wrote this "lever used to move a rail car wheel by hand and roll a box car etc. I have done it. A friend also released a box cars brake and then levered it a bit but it gained momentum & went down a grade.thru switches 27 miles before hitting a derail device set by a RR employee,"
