Description: This very rare photo shows a construction train on the S. J. & E. in the spring of 1912. By this time, the railroad had been built far into the rugged fastness of the High Sierra, and was nearing the future site of the town of Cascada (Big Creek). The exact location of the "head of steel" is uncertain. Pg. 26. [THIS PHOTO IS NOT AN EDISON PHOTO! DO NOT USE THIS NEG W/OUT WRITTEN PERMISSION FROM WILLIAM A. MYERS!]
