What is in the rail wagons, please - would that be ballast, perhaps?

Thanks Threebs coal was my immediate reaction - must be import coal as Victoria had no real coal until much later as far as I know.
Doesn't look particularly good coal all the same still I suppose what you want it for has some relevance. Not loco coal I hope....

Edit: Please keep up the photos they are great.
