The photograph records the process of reconstructing one of the railway bridges, possibly over the Kopuawhara Stream near Māhia, or in the Esk Valley. Pictured is a group of men working with a pulley system. The mechanism uses a large weight to force foundations into the ground. Behind the pulley system is a rail wagon.
