Ready to go

Bucket 42 is on the rail and ready for launch at the top of the Claughton Brickworks aerial ropeway. The launcher is waiting for an empty bucket to reach a certain point on its way up before sending this full bucket of shale along the rail and onto the rope. This ensures that the load on the rope is kept evenly spaced and the speed correct as it operates entirely by gravity.

The bin is a bonus.
