Photograph of three workers unloading tires from a rail car, ca.1950. A smiling man is visible at center pushing a dolly with two large tires stacked upon it. To the left of him stands a taller man carrying a large cardboard box upon his shoulder. A third man stands in back and to the left. He is grinning and pushing a second dolly with six tires placed upon it.
