Yes, I'll pick the latter part of the 19th and first half of the 20th. Can I split the Centurys like that?

Russ, great photos. I don't know if the reality of early days life matches what the old black and white photos show but I would love to have experienced those days.

I can't pull enough detail on the Georgia shot. But it could be a sidewinder or a GE. GE made one where the blades came out the top of the motor.

That thing is driving me nuts. I would bet my life it is a Westinghouse. But...never laid eyes on one like that.

My vote is Westy SW, but the perspective in the shot makes them appear too large! The blade tip is definitely Westy, as is what appears to be a blade iron! Wish we had a clearer pic!

Great shots, Russ!
