Stepping into this snapshot from history, we are immediately struck by the sheer magnitude of activity taking place. The focal point of the image is undoubtedly the awe-inspiring Goliath crane that looms over the scene, ready to tackle any task thrown its way. The atmosphere is one of ceaseless motion as workers scurry about their duties with purpose and determination. The railway wagons stand proudly on tracks, awaiting their turn for loading or unloading. It's a symphony of efficiency orchestrated by these dedicated individuals who keep this vital hub running smoothly.
