E-paw's EOY challenge.

That pipe is probably the water feed, from the tender to the "Fireman's" injector.

It might be, I don't know if there was a sight glass in the brakeman's cab. The fireman had one on the rear platform. As you can see it's a hefty pipe that's unlagged.

In this photo it definitely is a tender feed. It is run a little differently on this engine than on #454. <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.northeast.railfan.net/images/cnj434s.jpg">http://www.northeast.railfan.net/images/cnj434s.jpg</a><!-- m -->
