Now sitting over the ash pit, Engineer Bruce Mowbray climbs down from the cab and begins washing down the ashes in the ash pan in preparation for dumping them into the pit. The water is supplied via a hose connected to the injector on the fireman's side. The fireman primes and starts the injector and then opens a small valve near the water intake pipe which then redirects a portion of the water being sucked through the injector into the hose as seen here. Bruce in this scenario can then redirect the fireman to adjust the flow of water as needed.
