I forgot to include uk.railway. Rather than start a separate thread, I'm
crossposting this sub-thread.

It's attached to a platform support in the photo, but I've also seen them
on bridges and viaducts. Not knowing what it's called, I can't search for
it.

It appears bi-monthly in this group.
Usually found on station platforms a guage ensure the track is laid
correctly to maintain clearance of rail vehicles from structure.
