Description: The heat wave's over and fall is creeping up much to the satisfaction of this railroad crew working in the Dollar Bay area. Wesley Polasaari, Harold Honkanen and Foreman Hubert Wuori said last week was most unpleasantly hot, and perspiration far too plentiful. The men find it especially uncomfortable in wooded areas where the air has little chance to move. This shot was taken in a cooler spot near Bay Junction, with cars from the wire and flooring mills in the background. [The three men work on the tracks.]
