I'm going more for the second ones.

Railway construction itself a voracious consumer of materials and labour.

There's something I don't can understand, in the phrase takes a S, I have understanding that is used for the third person, but I don't know if the S should to goes in the labour words instead of materials.

Truly yours.

The sentence can be translated as:

La misma construcción del ferrocarril era una voraz consumidora de materiales y mano de obra.

La "s" es el plural de materiales. En tu frase falta el verbo ("was"). :)
