My guess is that it is on a locomotive. It is used to hook up multi-engined trains, so that they can be all controlled from the lead loco.

The MU sockets on those particular locomotives might as
well be considered 54 pins, as both MU cables must be used, unlike GM/EMD and GE diesel electric loco's. Use only one MU cable and the other loco wont respond.
