I dropped the ball (or rather my technology did).   

Professor Gamlen has more than enough on his plate and other than noting it as a topic for mining should one of us come across it again I wouldn't task him to work on it.

The range of publications that have important historical information is broad...from railroad trade jounals,   general engineering and construction books and periodicals, newspapers, historic atlases/histories, college dissertations, general interest magazines, court cases, railroad records, and probably other categories that I could delineate.

We have fun doing this and we hope that more people beyond the usual suspects  would get into doing this as there is much Burlington History that needs to be extracted and memorialized!!

I don't use emojis but the tone of the above is intended to be positive and happy and not ragging on anybody especially Louis!!

Charlie - Having read Tom Mack's earlier post with the link to the present day company that manufactures railroad sanding equipment, I'll agree with you.  I think there's a high probability that the image shows an early version of such air-powered locomotive sanding equipment. May be Rupert can trace the internet article that you came across. Thanks - Louis

All-

While surfing the internet I ran into a reference to the CB&Q using 2” or smaller air pipe to deliver sand to locomotives.   My iPad decided not to send out emails so the bookmarked reference is not available, but I think the mystery apparatus is indeed for sanding locomotives.
