Sepia-toned image of a number of men standing on a wooden trestle. The trestle if four stories tall, and men stand on the top level where the tracks will run, and on another, lower level. One man is visible on the hillside just beneath the trestle; several others are seated in and standing on the various levels of the trestle. The woods in the background are in full leaf, and none of the men wear heavy coats. Several hold large mauls or axes.
