Original 1947 Associated Press Wirephoto showing a large group of youth railroad workers in Yugoslavia celebrating one of their members being named a "shock worker," a distinction awarded to those who exceeded production standards on the railroad being constructed through the mountains of Yugoslavia into Bosnia. The attached news caption states that approximately 200,000 youths from 16 nations participated in the project. An excellent postwar international labor and transportation image with strong crowd and human-interest content. Measures approximately 9 × 7 inches. Mounted on black scrapbook paper backing. Surface damage and paper loss are present in several areas of the image, along with age-related toning and handling wear. Please see photos.
