A group of construction workers in 1930s attire labor on a railroad track in California, using shovels and tools to dig and lay rails across a flat, open landscape. Shot on 8mm film, the footage captures the gritty, industrious atmosphere of Depression-era infrastructure work with authentic grain and period detail. The workers, wearing hats and work clothes, move with purpose along the tracks under a bright sky, offering a rare glimpse into mid-20th century manual labor and rail expansion.
