Maybe it's from Australia...if that's the case, would it be 119?

Next time, just turn the camera upside-down.  ;>)

I get that the auger moves the coal from the tender to the firebox, but how does the coal get spread evenly over the whole fire? Is that the job of the fireman to spread the coal after the auger delivers it?

Those valves just to the left of the firebox door
are for steam jets within the firebox. Using these,
the fireman can direct the coal to areas where needed.
