U.S.A., 992B, 21 jewels, adj. to temp. and 6 positions"   It fills all of the requirements of a railroad watch in any era 

It is running well with good motion and keeping good time as it has been professionally cleaned and oiled          

It is lever setting to set the hands- that is, there is a little lever at the edge of the dial at about the 1:00 position that you pull out away from the dial, at which time if you turn the winding crown the hands will move.  Push it back in, and now turning the winding crown will again wind the watch.  This lever setting system was required on all railroad grade watches so that you would not accidentally change the time when you were winding the watch   You can see the lever in the out position at the 1:00 in the photo above
