Description
Photograph of ice loaders posing with a set of freight cars filled with cantaloupe in El Centro, ca.1910. At left, thirteen workers stand on an elevated platform near a line of freight cars at right. Most of the men carry long rods. On top of the cars at right, four more men can be seen. A small plank connects one car to the platform. These men loaded ice into the cars in order to chill the cantaloupe within.
