Drop-Side railway wagons used for the delivery of Square Pitching Stones for the upper level of the  reservoir side of the embankment.  This cladding is to prevent wave action erroding the embankment slope.  Wagons are spaced along the length of the dam and several men can be seen working on the installation of the square stones.
