View of Saltley shed's mechanical coaling plant showing both a range of different railway company wagons and a wagon being hoisted to the top for tipping into the bunker. The plant had two coaling roads underneath, one below each 75 ton bunker with a raised platform between on which was placed the cabin which controlled the plant operations, from raising the wagons to discharging the coal into the tenders or bunkers of the depot's locomotives.
