Serón Station in a terrible state before renovation. | See map. | |
There is so much to see in this photograph which shows the Serón iron ore hoppers in action. Taken by Gustave Gillman around 1904, one can clearly see the 480Kg buckets passing over the protective netting. Below the hopper, one can see a train of five 35 ton wagons which will be hauled as a train of 9 or 12 wagons to El Hornillo for loading onto ships. The station building is on the right of the photograph. The man next to the locomotive is a pointsman (there were no signal boxes on The GSSR). See the excellent website by Don Gaunt. | See map. | |
The remains of one of the iron ore loaders. The holes at the back are where the iron beams were fixed that supported the front wall (that was made out of iron frameworks and wooden slats) but were ripped out for scrap. The pillar on the left is where one of the cables brought the ore down from the mines. The buckets were then slid laterally on rails to discharge into specific parts of the loader. The ore was then discharged via chutes (now no longer existent) directly into the 35 ton wagons. | See map. | |
