Alaska Road Commission

Cookman Collection #1

1937

This winter view is looking up the road with the roadway on the left, the ditch in center and the cut bank at right. A box-like structure with pipes protruding from the top and several long slender rods leaning on it is in the ditch at immediate foreground and two similar structures are in the ditch at middle ground. A patch of liquid water is in the ditch in foreground. A pickup truck sits on the road facing the camera in middle ground and a dump truck with the steam boiler in the bed is farther up the road. A man is apparent standing next to the boiler and a hose is visible running from the boiler onto the ground. A moderate level of snow covers the ground.
