Close up of image 'lnwrrm1048' showing the vertical coaling chutes with horizontal units used to place the coal into tenders and bunkers. The coal was moved forward inside the metal ducting by either gravity or through the use of 'jiggers' which nudged the coal forward in manageable amounts. Water was sprayed upon the coal inside the plant in order to reduce the amount of coal dust.
