Description
Photograph of two workers loading large tires onto a railway car, ca.1950. To the left is a worker facing right and standing partially on a wooden ramp while pushing a large tire into a railway car. To the right of the tire is a grinning worker standing inside the railway car facing the other man who is assisting in rolling the tire. Both men are visible wearing pinstriped pants, a pinstriped button-down collared shirt with stars on the cuffs, white gloves, and a cap. A stack of six tires is visible in the background leaning against the railway car.
