The first picture shows they were $0.75 each. That is special in itself! The one looks to have a helper motor or extra break hardware or something molded on.

My guess would be an electrical generator driven off the truck axle.

That's not a helper motor, that's a generator. The wheels spin the "motor" and creates electricity for the car.

Most likely, that is for some sort of passenger car.
Nice steal!
If I can't fix it, I can fix it so it can't be fixed.
