Looks like they are taking off the smokebox door to get ready to reflue the engine. One of the dirtiest job a boilermaker can have. Nasty!

 

And the only thing to keep

And the only thing to keep it from moving is some wood chocks, looks like. Maybe brass?

 

Actually they are removeing

Actually they are removeing the smokebox front -- the actual froont of the boiler would be the front tube sheet which is to the rar of the smoke box.
