Pup tents were used during the early days of construction and were later replaced by larger, heated tents when winter came. During 1942, housing facilities for troops and civilian workers on the project were primitive in the extreme. Soldiers, engineers, and construction workers were housed in tents, in many places along the route during the year, enduring temperatures as low as 70 degrees below zero several times during the winter of 1942-1943.
