I would agree with Kev, from a railway signal box.

Or from a similar system such as moving wagons up and down inclined planes or in mines.

I know what it is but I'll put the details in a spoiler to let others have a chance....
► Show Spoiler
It's a bronze eagle sculpture by Albino Manca in Battery Park, New York. The park honours missing WW2 American servicemen. I didn't do a reverse image search but just whittled it down from guesses and clues. It was the American eagle, probably something to do with honouring military and a New York park seemed like the place to start searching. Otherwise, just lucky!

Click on the tiny thumbnails in this web page and you'll find it:

That was my conclusion too, Ian. I think we are correct unless there are identical sculptures in other US parks! Have a look at my spoiler, I put a link in it.
