I was very fortunate to obtain an old photo album that has quite a few
photos taken during the construction of the Balboa Dry Dock. I
found reference to a Harvey H. Brown as owner of the photo album, so I
will call this the Harvey H. Brown collection. There are many very
historic photos from start to finish of the old dry dock
construction. I hope to post a complete set of these as time permits.
This week's photo is a very interesting one showing two miniature steam
locomotives used during the construction. They are down in the
almost finished chamber. Note the temporary ties that the tracks
are set on. Here are a bunch of guys clowning around what looks like on
their day off. Too clean and well dressed to be working
clothes. One of these may very well be Mr. Brown.
