Photograph. Sepia-toned photo showing construction work for a new railroad bridge over the Rouge River. Printed text on the lower edge of the photo shows the date, "2-12-1920."

The workmen appear to be attaching cables and chains to the tops of the buckets so that they can be lifted into position by a construction crane.
