Motor-Truck for Carrying Miners to and From Cresson Mine - Crossing the Trestle Across Poverty Gulch on Midland Terminal.

The accompanying illustration shows miners in the Cripple Creek district of Colorado traveling 'de luxe' to and from work. The adaptability of the motor-truck to operation on railroad tracks has made the four-mile ride of 35 men employed by the Cresson Consolidated Mining Co. to and from the mines as comfortable as riding in a pullman.

The motor-truck, a 3-ton FWD, which formerly was run over rough roads, has been equipped with flanged wheels and is now carrying its passengers in real comfort over the smooth steel rails that lead to the mines. Even the driver has protection from the elements in an all-weather cab.
