Description

Photograph of construction work near railroad track, showing men with cameras, [s.d.]. In the extreme foreground at center, a pile of dirt and wood can be seen. In the background at center, a man wearing a cap is crouched beside the railing of the railroad tracks holding what appears to be a stake in his hand. Behind the man, a group of five additional men with tools can be seen working near a large pile of dirt. At least three of the men hold shovels, while the man to the left of the group holds a hammer. Two men with what appear to be cameras on tripods can be seen on either side of the railroad track. Another man with a camera can be seen in the background at right near rows of large utility poles. Additional men who do not appear to be working can be seen around the site as well.
