Photograph. Sepia-toned photo showing the inside of a caisson that was used for the construction of a railroad bridge over the Rouge River. Printed text in the upper left corner of the photo shows the number, "24," and "M.C.R.R. River Rouge Bascule Bridge; Foundations; Caisson #3; June 26, 1919; [W. B.] James Photo." The view shows three workmen on top of the caisson along with various pieces of equipment and piping. Near the top center area of the photo, a fourth workman is looking through a gap in the circular scaffolding.
