All copies have been two-hole punched at the right edge. Marked by the museum as A, B (2 copies) and C.
Photo 'A': In a view looking south, it shows the radiator end view of two portable gasoline-powered Hobart generators on a yard trolley. The hand of a man out of view at the right is holding a tape measure that runs to the left edge of the generator marked '125'. In the background at the left is a propeller. The large building behind it is the Copper & Pipe Shops. At the top right is the Hospital and Accounting Building with cars parked near it.
Photo 'B' (2 copies): In a view looking north, it shows the other end with the coils of electrical cables. Directly behind it is the repair garage where a workman on scaffold is doing some brick repair, note rubble beneath him. At the right is a partial view of the firehouse and its sign. There also other generators or compressors below the sign.
Photo 'C': A general view looking northwest. In the background are the entrance ways for employees with automobiles parked on the diagonal. A set of railroad tracks curve behind the trolley.
