I have a Lehigh Valley Railroad and Toronto, Hamilton, & Buffalo Railway switch keys and both keys work in each outhers locks. Older Soo Line Keys marked with just 409 work in L&N Switch Locks these keys have a 9 type Cut in them.

So far my collection of Switch Keys are:
Conrail (Old Key)
Lehigh Valley
Soo Line
Soo Line (No Letters just 409 stamped on key)
L&N
CP Rail
Northern Pacific
FGLK
TH&B
C&NW Pullman Elecrical Closet Key (Small barrel with Triangle Cut)
New York Central (Triagle Shaped Maintainers Key for RACO Screw Lock)
and 5 outher unknowen U.S. Railroad Keys

I have also managed to gather a few Railroad Keys from
Ukraine, Russia, and Balarus (don't ask how I got them it was not as easy as it was geting hats and patches)
