It’s the grease container for an automatic wheel flange greaser (lubricator).

Come on hands up, who thought it's was about datum plates?

Actually I suspect that flange greasers are becoming the new datum plates.

It is my favourite piece of railway equipment: the flange greaser

As any worldly man knows you need to keep your flange greased.

Ps Flange hehehehehehehe

I did debate whether the heading should have the usual ‘not a datum plate’ “disclaimer” added!
