The following photo was provided by Mike McKenzie. It is one of a group of photos that were rescued from some Cumberland, Maryland area trash a number of years ago by one of Mike's friends.
Mike McKenzie reports that this photo shows B&O track workers. The man on the left is using a prybar on a wooden railroad tie. The man in the middle is driving a spike into the tie. Other men, and a collection of wooden kegs, are visible in the background.
