I think you are correct in that it is part of the smoke stack. Perhaps it is debris from a boiler explosion.

Can't get a proper look at it, and it would help to see it in the context where you found it.
It could be part of a smokestack, or it could be any number of other things as well.
If you want an expert opinion, go to Big Blue, the model railroading and railroad history site, and post your image there. There are members there who build locomotives.
