At the Tioga Crossing, 3 1/2 miles south and 3 1/2 miles west of Willard, hand shoveling snow was a common practice on the F & N.E. during winter months. the locomotive pilot and crew hand shoveled the snow to clear the tracks. At this particular time, it looks as though some Tioga area residents came to help with the removal.	The F&N.E. Railroad crossed a bridge on Thompson Creek, a mile south of Tioga.  J. Foster Adams took this picture of the rented Omaha pile driver as the F&N.E. bridge was being repaired, June, 1905.
