Photo of the Week

This week we are looking at a photo from the collection of Fay H. McCain who worked for the Isthmian Canal Commission (ICC) during the construction of the Canal starting in 1910 as a Railroad Car Steel Repairer. A year later he was promoted to Steam Engineer Craneman and then later once the Canal was completed, McCain Steam Engineer (Wrecker). Evidently Fay was a camera bug and captured some very historic moments on film. The photo this week is a super photo showing two steam cranes loading a brand new General Electric locks locomotive on a flat car destined to one of the locks. I don't know if this pier is in Cristobal or Balboa.

What a great capture in time. More of Fay's photos in the next few weeks.
