What the image shows

A black-and-white photograph taken from below looking up a snow-dusted embankment, with a rough, dark slope of earth in the foreground and patches of snow on the left. Along the crest of the bank a line of workers in dark clothing stands and digs, with power poles and wires running along the top and a faint plume of steam or smoke drifting in the distance on the right. The number 57 is written in the lower left corner, and the credit Archives de la Ville de Montréal appears in the lower right.Described automatically by a vision model; may contain mistakes.
