Jack,

 

My guess is those pipes are the air cooler.  As you know as air is compressed it gets hot and thus requires cooling.  Steam locomotives had the same basic pipe type cooler under the running board (sometime on both sides) near the compressor.  As Gas Electrics were an early design, so was their air coolers.  As for the radiator, it was behind the front grill (as I remember).  Its been sixty some odd years since I watched the "Puddle Jumper" at the Sheridan (IL) depot.  The motor car on the Fox River Branch was know as the Puddle Jumper. I liked to see the flames coming out of the stacks as it started moving.
