The RR station in the background is certainly a landmark.

Any additional info is welcome, there are a lot of unknowns here.

1st is a Maxim city service ladder from Bogota Hook&Ladder Co.[/quote]

Thank you sir, for the info! Given the state of things today, 1947 would be a good choice for the way-back machine...
