Ken is correct that the piping is for the sanders. Just look at this photo.

Looking at available photos in the Archives online, there are not any 
good close photos of what the appliances are on the running board. Not 
all locos appear to have them. My best guess is that those appliances 
have something to do with the braking system.
Note the writing on the side of the cab in the photo below!
