View of a group of individuals shoveling snow out of the New Haven Railroad line at Greens Farms following the Blizzard of 1888. Many of those who were digging out snow worked on both sides of the railroad tracks. While many people helped with snow removal, there is a group of people observing them from the bridge above. On the other side of the bridge, a single individual walked in the direction towards the group. Trees, buildings, fences, and utility poles are in the background.
