Construction through Baggott Canyon for the Saratoga and Encampment Railroad.
Update - 2009: Black & white print showing a railroad track over a river & extending into the distance. Slight hills are seen on either side at background. The underpinning of the track over the water appears to be constructed of square beams, some irregularly sized. Other lumber & timbers are strewn above on right river bank edge. A very tall open ladder & tripod shaped device is seen on a platform above the timbers & lumber (a hoisting unit?)
