Close up of the mechanical coaling plant with the new ground level water tank immediately behind

Close up of image 'lnwrrm1067' showing the mechanical coaling plant with the new ground level water tank immediately behind. The timber ramped platform was positioned at footplate height allowing the crew to alight with ease. Because the discharge chutes were at either end of the structure there were two control cabins to match. The coal wagons accessed the coaling plant from the other side and were raised and tipped on a hoist fixed to the side of the plant. The water tank can be seen immediately behind the coaling plant.
