This is taken on top of the battery of ovens. There was a hopper car that rode on rails at this level, which dumped the coal into the ovens below thru manhole covers. On the left are the hot rails for the car on their supports. On the right are the gass offtake pipes which collected the coal gasses as the coal was coked, and the gasses were drawn to a process plant where the various volatiles were removed (toluenes, napthalenes, oils, etc., and the scrubbed gas was then used to fire the ovens to make more coke.
