Building a railroad trestle
Title
Building a railroad trestle
Description
A group of men stand on top of an incomplete wooden railroad trestle. They wear pants, long-sleeved shirts and hats. Two men stand on either end of a cross-bar below the platform itself, and the number '23' is painted in white paint just below the platform. The trestle is built of logs and stands in a steep defile about 60 feet high, and cut logs are scattered about its base. Equipment for building the trestle rises above the men on the platform, and in the background a train sits with smoke pouring from its smokestack. The hillside below the track and trestle is bare, while vegetation covers the hill on the upper side.
