Keeping hogs wet in summer heat was vital in keeping them healthy during transit in stock cars. This manual twin-handle pump soaks both decks of hogs on Swift Live Stock Express cars in a New York Central train east of Rome, N.Y. S.K. Bolton Jr. photo
Water for the hogs and water (beyond) for the locomotive, although not for this diesel-hauled train. Guess this would probably have to be scratch-built for a model....never seen it offered commercially.
That's not a manual pump, it's a pipe connected to a source delivering a considerable flow under pressure. The worker isn't pumping, he's using the levers to raise the spouts to aim the flow at each deck, while staying in a relatively dry location. The thing in front of him that looks like a brake wheel is probably the wheel for operating the shutoff valve.
I believe the term manual wasn't intended to imply manual pumping but rather at the sprayers as opposed to turning a valve away from the sprayers. Just a guess, Bob Chaparro Hemet, CA
