It was called a "Ryan-Johnson" coal pusher. It was not a Q design or exclusive to the Q. Several railroads used them but probably the biggish user was the GN. They were used on several classes of Q engines. The introduction of stokers made them obsolete.

The questions are: Was this design exclusive to the CB&Q? Was this designed by the Q's Mechanical Department? Was the mechanism steam or air powered?
