Dave,
I believe that's a steam hose. Long enough to be used for thawing water tanks etc. I've seen photos of C&S locos with steam hoses similarly wrapped around the sand dome. Here is 315 with a much shorter hose between the steam dome and the pipe fitting on pile driver OB which supplies steam to the pile driver.
