The caption on the back says "Men of the crack 503rd Parachute Infantry Regiment of Noemfoor and Markham Valley fame, make their way over a difficult trail on Corregidor Island..."

Notice 2nd guy from right looks like he has a different type of uniform on, camouflaged. When you look at what the US Military wears today in combat and compare it with WWII, got to feel for those WWII guys with only a piece of thin cotton between them and a bullet.

This picture shows a pile of rail ties and it very well may be the pile shown on your picture, just a little left of the center:
