Sepia-toned photo of the Lonyo Road Sewer under construction

Description:

Photograph. Sepia-toned photo of the Lonyo Road Sewer under construction. Printed text in the lower left corner of the photo shows "Lonyo Road Sewer, Adjacent to M.C.R.R. Aug. 30, 1919, After Slip of Waste Bank which raised bottom 13' above grade; [W. B.] James Photo." The view shows a wide, excavated trench in the foreground along with track-mounted steel forms for constructing a large, double-barrel cast-in-place concrete sewer. The photographer noted the location of a nearby waste pile of excavated material (marked by arrow near center of photo) that collapsed and caused the sewer grade line to heave upward as noted by the upward-pointing arrow near the left side of the photo.
