The only think I can think of that would be required up high on a track used for active steam locomotives would be a sanding line.

I don’t know if sand can be delivered under air pressure in what looks to be 1” or slightly larger lines and hoses…..

While I can't say for sure that the system is a pneumatic sander, sanding of locomotives can definitely be done via a pneumatic system with smaller diameter hoses. Cyclonaire has made these systems for many years: https://www.cyclonaire.com/products/railroad-sanding-equipment/
