Description

No date or other info with this old Cabinet Photo. This scene is apparently in the days of early electric lighting C1900? Zooming in it looks like an electric light bulb in the old gas(?) lamp fixture. There is a 2nd one at the other end of the platform. Note the two wires at the top of the 'telegraph pole' and another pair just below. Power or telegraph?? The Freight station is to the right with box cars spotted along side. No automobile tire tracks... Horse and wagon only since the last rain... /DL
