COLUMBIA WATERWORKS , DECEMBER 28, 1911. Busier than Santa’s elves were a few days earlier, workers wrangle a General Electric dynamo from a railroad flatcar with the help of a soot-belching Bucyrus Company wrecking crane. Once unloaded, the power-generating device would be jockeyed into its final location using the log rollers and bridge. These activities were part of improvements being carried out on the canal and at Columbia’s waterworks. The outline of one of the penitentiary’s two-story cell houses, faintly visible behind the leafless trees, indicates this photograph was taken facing south.
