An internal view of lower level shed 'B' under construction showing the two unloading platforms and one of the two fixed cranes on the left. The mechanical capstan in the centre of the sets of rails was used to draw forward wagons with the use of ropes and chains. On the right out of view was the area covered by the overhead travelling cranes. Traffic entered and departed from shed 'B' via Allison Street via a road way behind the photographer running at 90° to the rails with the entrance to Allison Street being located on the extreme right of the photographer.
