B & W digital scan of LA Aqueduct Tunneling Crew standing next to Electric Locomotive near unidentified Tunnel Portal. "At first the men at the tunnel headings drilled the powder holes with hand tools; but early in 1908 heavier equipment arrived and work was pushed ahead with "all possible speed. After every blast a fresh crew would take over and shovel the muck into electrically operated cars." --the Water Seekers, pg 37. Note; carbide lamp and miners bucket.Collection
