maritime and railway activity at Foxton River port, NZ, circa 1900

It looks as if the ship is loading bags (or carcasses?) from an open wagon, several of which are being shunted in the rail yard by an R class Single Fairlie steam loco.  The caption must refer to port fees being taken by the central government. For more, see earlier posts and of course our books.
