      MCRR could be Michigan Central or Maine Central. I have several railroad wrenches of various sizes. They come in handy for repairs.

      What you have is NOT a Railroad Wrench, as in Manufactured by the RR, but a wrench owned by, and marked by the Railroad that owned it. You have a "Bemis and Call" "Adjustable Screw Wrench", commonly referred to as a "Monkey Wrench". The first "Adjustable Screw Wrench" of this style was patented by Coes tool company, in the early 1800's, and many other companies later copied their design. Now, of course they were used on the railroad, as well as automobiles, plumbers, and many other mechanics in general. Nice tool, as I own a few myself!
