Description

A Tonopah and Goldfield Railroad train takes on water and fuel at Millers, NV, winter, 1933. "The winter of '33 was one of the most severe recorded in central Nevada up to that time. Snow isolated many outlying communities for weeks at a time and temperatures dropped to the -30s. On a number of occasions the trains were marooned in the snow drifts between Millers, Tonopah and Goldfield and had to be dug out by hand."
