Description: By May of 1913, each of the three dams at the Basin was virtually complete. Here, work crews are pouring an eastern "wing wall" extension to Dam #1. By this time, with much of the original "Basin Railroad" flooded by the rising waters of the reservoir, a two-foot narrow-gauge tramway was being used to deliver mixed concrete to each work face.
