New Market Railroad Construction Photograph, circa 1905
This photograph depicts workers using a steam-driven shovel to repair railroad tracks in New Market, Tennessee. A number of civilians, including women in dresses and hats, are observing them. A caption handwritten across the top of the photograph reads "Mr. Ed. King, New Market, Tennessee." Although the image is undated, the damage to the tracks may have been incurred during the New Market train wreck in 1904.
