Description

Black and white photo taken at the Longue-Pointe Ordnance Depot. This photo depicts a man unloading a Canadian National Railway cargo container. The man is leaning down to hold a wheelbarrow and there are wooden boxes seen in the container. A flatbed truck is backed up into the container's entrance, the man is standing on the slanted bed of the truck. In the foreground we see the dirt road covered in tire tracks. The shadow of the photographer (likely Cpl. Holliday) is visible in the bottom of the photo.
