Description:
Tennesse Williams' Cat-train coming from Umiat passing Tilleson's Cat-train and crew near Sagwon. Williams hauled freight from Umiat, which had an airstrip, to Sagwon for test drilling and oil exploration operations before the winter ice road (Hickel Highway) was built.
Listen to Harold Tilleson talk about what types of vehicles were used to construct the winter ice road and haul fuel.
