[Title supplied from catalog prepared by the Eagle County Historical Society.]
Railroad employees building a bridge. Railroad ties and building materials are visible in the foreground. The inscription reads: "Building Turkey Creek Bridge" which raises some questions about accuracy given that Turkey Creek is at Red Cliff and this photo is identified as Kent.
Fred P., Hughie and an unidentified man standing next to movable scaffolding. The scaffolding is on train wheels and is pulled by a horse or mule when working on tunnel interiors, e.g. the railway tunnel under Tennessee Pass.

Cabins built by Nels Yost and rented to railroad construction workers. There are cherry and apple trees behind the cabins, close to the riverbank.
