Summary

A metal container attached to a lifting device (unseen) discharging rubble into a railway truck, whilst four workmen are supervising the operation, location not known. A researcher has provided the following information: The railway wagon in the image is a New Zealand Railway type L-2 wood high side wagon, meaning that the photograph was taken in New Zealand. The load looks like crushed limestone, which suggests it is on the South Island, possibly Oamaru, which had extensivelimestone quarries and a rail connected harbour. The photograph was possibly used in South Australia to show a method of transferring crushed stone.
