Remarks & Notes

If I remember correctly, the operator pulled this carload of coke fresh from the smelter into the cooling tower, where it got an extended shower. Now that temps are down, he is swapping the trolley pole so that he can shove the car back through the tower and on to wherever the next step in the coking process occurs.
