Barclays fireless locomotive; was charged up with steam at the power station then came to the docks to shunt coal waggons and take some back to the power station, collect more steam, rinse and repeat.

Fireless locomotives were often used in places where sparks / hot ash would have been more dangerous than usual eg munition works or stores.
