Molten metal is being dumped from special wagons at the Lihovarská Dump in Ostrava. The shunting locomotive moving the carts is hiding behind the thick layer of steam.
The 66-hectare area is connected to Nová huť ironworks by rails. Each day multiple trains arrive from there to empty blast furnace slag, a by-product of steelmaking.
