It’s a leaf spring. It is, as you surmised, suspension. A much smaller version is still used on most pickup trucks.

The eagle like object is part of the suspension, you are correct. Theylre called leaf springs, your vehicle likely has them.

HA ! ! :-)

There are light bulbs there. my guess is there was a stained glass window that was backlit by the bulbs... probably looked really pretty compared to the barren bleakness of the rest of the complex

If I'm not mistaken, I think it's a soap dispenser.

:-D

It is a leaf spring and it is for suspension. It is just huge compared to the ones you find in cars.

That is the First Class 73 that SNCB had. Built in 1965.
