I've no quibble with the identification, but there something about that
rail drill that doesn't look any earlier than around the middle of the
last century. I'd have expected them to have been motorised by then.

Regarding 2967, I'd just like to note that although welded rail
is indeed the norm on heavily used main lines, and is being
used more and more widely, jointed track held together with
fishplates is still anything but rare today.
Of course that doesn't mean that this particular tool is still
needed much!

This guy says he started on the railroad in 1976. He didn't see them
used, but his father may have.
Western-Cullen-Hayes still makes manual rail drills.

2968 is an underscribe used to mark seams in hard vinyl flooring , edge
cuts on lam-in-place formica countertops , etc . The bottom pin rides the
edge , the top needle is adjusted for which function . The slider is
reversed in that picture , the needle should be right above the guide pin .
