Looks like a Woodings Railcar junction box, making me think the line it's on must've been owned by a Canadian Railroad originally (if it isn't still). Would also explain the presence of an EM signal in Maine, as EM signals were popular with a couple of railroads up there, IIRC.
They/Them for me, please.
