|  | | | To answer the Question:
The locks you are referring to are RACO signal locks. They are low security devices, and you can open them with needle-nose pliers. The triangle mechanisms are harder to get open than the Hexagon mechanisms for obvious reasons...
Now for the BS part you don't want to hear:
Railroad cops can and will rip you a new one, and in this area are fully armed. They don't play like some of the County/City guys do, and I know this because one of my best friends is an NS officer.
Also, should you get caught in a signal cabinet, you will be in a world of trouble. If you get caught messing with any equipment at all on the railroad you will have government authorities involved. Not to mention that the dispatcher will instantly know if you mess with anything.
And, as it's been stated already... there's nothing interesting in a signal cabinet. Just a bunch of high voltage equipment and relays and crap....
Anyway, hope I both answered your question and provided some insight.

| | | | RACo (Railway Accessories Company) is now
Safetran Systems Corp. and more recent
production has their curly "S" emblem.
I'm surprised that other signal companies
(Union Switch & Signal, General Railway
Signal) haven't also made these locks.

"signal locks".
