Great pic of a side of engine house work not often seen. Too bad it can't get a coat of Jenk's blue while it's in the shops, but hey at least it's a good ole workhorse standard cab EMD!

Richard, I'm not an expert, but I'm pretty sure that can is a holder for an M.U. Wire when not coupled to another locomotive. Makes for a safe and secure place to stow it away.

Richard, I found a good example for you to look at. Look for Briark, AR pictures. A shot of an SD 40-2 show the front with the cable in the holder
