The bucket was in the garage of a man who used to work for the railroad in the 1940's. It is galvanized and very old. I was going to use it as a planter until I saw the stamping on it. Just curious if anyone knows about it.

This would be more of an antique catagory than gardening. I am thinking it could be from the Nickle Plate Railroad, but I'm not sure

It sounds like it's from the railroad he worked for, also known as the Nickle Plate Road.
Here's an oil can that sold on eBay for $46.00

I'm not sure what your bucket would bring.
And here's a site that will explain the history:

It actually could be worth something. Me myself am a collector of antiques and i think it could worth something in the near future. The bucket stamped with NKP RR is from a railroad called the Nickle plate railroad that extends from st. Louis to Chicago to New York. It is no longer around becouse of a merger. I would definitley hold onto that.
