Loading marble slabs onto the electric railway
Men of the Colorado Yule Marble Company load numbered marble blocks on flatbed rail cars on the 1910 completed standard gauge electric railway. The block is lowered 134 feet from an overhead cable. A steep wood stairway leads to quarry on face of Ragged Mountain. The long wooden bin on the right held coal for the quarry boilers.
