I picked this Michigan Central oil can up on Ebay yesterday. I've been using a Santa Fe can I bought a few years ago when I qualified to run at work, but I've been wanting an example from a local road. Can't get any more local than this since the former Michigan Central mainline to Chicago runs right outside our fence. It'll go well with my LS&MS lantern as well as my other NYC lantern that I occasionally use when we have switching moves to do at night.
According to the Ebay listing, the family of the former owner who's estate it came from, said he was a Michigan Central engineer.
