This is sugar beets not coal.

Thanks for pointing out this major mixup! We found other pictures of sugar beets in Colorado that resemble this photo, so we'll write a new title and reload the description.

This photo (and another similar view from a slightly different angle) was actually taken during the fall 1901 inaugural season of the Great Western Sugar Company refinery at Loveland, Colo. The buildings were still under construction when the photos were taken, but beets were already being stockpiled. The cars had just been purchased for sugar beet service by the Colorado & Southern Railway.

Thanks Hol Wagner. Do you have a citation for the 1901 date or similar images from that time period and location?

awesome.. The simple life of the past

I agree with H~Heart, awesome picture and nice scene of the past.

Wonderful scene - a great slice of life.

I agree. I love this simple snapshot of everyday life. From the colors to the menial task.

Hi, I'm an admin for a group called people working, and we'd love to have your photo added to the group.
