Freight trains starting from the
left hand fiddle yard run onto board one and switch the Atlas Color Works. The
factory siding runs into the fiddle yard to allow empties in/loads out. This
board was recycled from
Nuovo Ponte.

Atlas Color Works
The color works produces paint from
minerals such as ochre and materials such as charcoal. Processing is a mix of
washing to remove grit, drying, heating, and grinding to ‘flour’. The ‘flour’ is
then mixed with other material such as gypsum, raw linseed oil, and thinner to
produced paint. The works also grinds mineral such as coal to ‘flour’ to be used
as fillers. Coal ‘flour’ is used in the paper and fibreboard industries and in
drills. The works receives tins and packaging.
