‘Crab’ 2-6-0 No.42827 on 18th February 1962 in front of the mechanical coaling tower and ash disposal plant with two open wagons on the left already filled. The electrically operated coaling tower was built of reinforced concrete and had two 150 ton bunkers. Coal was raised by wagon on the outside of the tower under the control of an attendant in the cabin located at the base of the plant. The ash plant was steel framed with a winch room clad with metal corrugated sheeting. The locomotive being disposed would stand on either side of the structure as the centre road was where the wagons removing the ash were placed. The ash would be emptied into hoppers that were then hoisted on rails until it was positioned above the wagon for discharging.
