Altho Not NG I’m finding that you guys are a font of technical knowledge, so does anyone know what this is? A pipe extending from (or to) the stack from what looks like a box atop the boiler between the sand and steam dome. Steam-powered smoke lifter possibly? CRI&P #901, apparently an ALCO Pacific photographed by Jack Alexander in 1948, and being digitized by buddy Philip Lomax.
Cheers,
