Are my eyes that bad? I thought I had 20/20 vision... Looking at that picture all I see is a piece of tinwork, I can't tell the color well enough to draw a conclusion. Knowing where it came from is the only help we got. I'd say Aluminum, Stainless isn't cheap and its heavy, rail cars are weight conscious, not as much as an airplane, but they try to keep the weight down to be able to load more. Aluminum is the most plentiful metal on earth, and its been reasonably cheap for decades. Without putting my hands on it I couldn't tell you what it is, but knowing the application I'd say aluminum. Whiting Door is right around the corner from my shop. They make the roll up (garage style) doors for the back of semi's. They use 1" marine grade plywood with aluminum laminated to both sides, powder coated white on one side and natural on the other. While its not that thick, for flooring it definitely could be.
