This image, taken from a low angle on the road, shows a cat tractor facing the viewer and pulling a road grader in the process of clearing the ditch on the far side of the road. The road surface appears slightly muddy. Two men are visible. The cat driver is barely visible over the engine hood and the grader operator is standing behind all of its control wheels and handles. The mountain slope rises beyond the road cut and is covered with heavy spruce forest in middle ground.
