Railroad token, likely issued as a promotional item by the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad, commonly known as the New Haven Railroad.
Here's more information about this token:
Purpose: These tokens were primarily distributed as a promotion for the New Haven Railroad's dining services, particularly when their new grill cars and rebuilt "Colonial Diners" were introduced. They could be kept as souvenirs or redeemed for a free cup of coffee during subsequent trips.
Material and Dates: The token in the image is made of aluminum, which was the most common material for these tokens, though rare brass examples exist. They are generally believed to have been issued from the late 1920s to the early 1940s, with a more specific period cited as 1937-1949, coinciding with the introduction of the "Colonial Diner" cars.
Design: The obverse (front) of the token features a streamlined "I-5" class locomotive, a type built for the New Haven in 1937 to handle increased passenger traffic.
