Peculiar but excellent shot! The foreground adds interest.

This was the only system of this type I encountered in India. Even large depots seemed to rely upon the steam crane and bucket method.I liked the way each crane had its own number. As they were self propelled this seemed the correct thing. In the UK very large sheds had concrete towers/silos with elevators on which full wagons were lifted and tipped into the silo but I have also seen the conveyor belt system used

Tiruppadirippuliyur...;-) Can never pronounce that! This is in Cuddalore city, in fact looked busier than the Cuddalore Port Junction

How does this stuff work? I remember that there was a coaling system at Ernakulam Jn in 1980's with a conveyer belt and hooper buckets. Do you have a pic of such a system?
