Coal breakers

The coal extracted at the Sandaoling opencast mine is brought to an unloading point at the washery near the town where it is tipped onto a bar screen over the bunkers. Two cranes with steel 'D' shaped weights are then used to break up the oversize lumps so that they can fall through before being conveyed into the washery. This train is part way through unloading and the breakers are in use as one of the loaded wagons is tipped.
