What is the actual size of those levers? They were probably used on and early electric interlocking machine as they appear too small to be used to operate a pipe connected interlocking.

I would have to measure them next time I am at the DRM, but I would guess the handles on these levers are about four feet off the floor.

Peirce-

It's a little bit on the unusual side that these were in a depot. Has me wondering what was the track layout? By chance could you post a sketch of the area?

:D

Sorry, In can not sketch that. This set of levers is now in Connecticut, at the Danbury Railway Museum. I am not familiar with the location from which these came. Maybe someone from New Jersey can help us out.
