Image Title:  [Men watching the unloading of logs from a truck parked on railroad tracks.]
Image Caption:  [Several men, possibly Yale Forestry School students, observe a man wearing overalls who is using a stick as a lever to pry large logs off the bed of a truck parked on railroad tracks in a forest. Numerous logs lay on the ground to either side of the tracks' rails, and pine trees line the sides of the railroad in the background. Likely a Urania Lumber Company operation in the state of Louisiana.]
