Original black and white photo of Marion Shovel excavator No. 61 and crew, operated by J. Fred Smith Gravel Company of Dallas, Texas. This photo looks to be from the early days of J. Fred Smith Gravel’s gravel pit creation, most likely the first one at Trinity Mills in Carrollton in Dallas County. J. Fred Smith was a major employer in Dallas County, excavating gravel for train ballast, road materials, and later, construction.
