Well…not quite. The tip labourer is spragging the wheel of the slag Bogie prior to tipping the slag over Cattersty Cliffs.They were tipped by using a chain and winch system through the hook on the side of the pots (on the other side of ladle). You can just see the chain hanging below the pot, to the left of the labourer. The Loco is one of the Low height types used on the Blast Furnaces. It certainly cast a lovely glow over the scene at night!
