Looks like temporary trackwork that has been in use for some time.
I wonder if a cable is used to pull up the incline?
That is also an interesting shovel handle.

A mining operation is what the cart purports to depict.

I remember flying past that bridge on commuter flights between National and Newark. According to the Wik, the bridge was taken down sometime in the 1980s.

The one to the far right looks like she swallowed her lemon drop.

Guys are having a better day out working cutting wood. I considered splitting a wheelbarrow load today, but my knee is not letting me do that.

That's the first I've ever seen holes in the knees of somebody's pants legs ( guy at center next to the guy with the lunchtin in his hand) in photos of those days.

I think that might be his overalls over his pants. It's an interesting early scene; just stop along the line and everyone out to eat lunch. Does not appear to be at the actual work site.
