Close up showing the 'Drott' in action taking over from the once labour intensive process of loading ballast in to the wagons

This close up of image "lnwrth714" showing the 'Drott' in action taking over from the once labour intensive process of loading ballast in to the wagons. It is clear however that some of the removal of the ballast was still undertaken by hand as the side door to the wagon is open and some of the labourers appear to be shovelling the heap of ballast into it.
