My uncle identified these photos as having been taken on one of my grandfather's jobs in Wadhams, NY in 1938.  They appear to involve the construction of a bridge over a creek.  I tried to put these in some sort of chronological order, but I'm just guessing as I have no idea what order they are supposed to go in.

•    A crane in the creek bed ready to begin work on the bridge.  The words "Bucyrus Erie Co." are clearly visible on the side of the crane - can't quite make out what's on the back - may partially read "INGRAHAM Inc."  The light-colored building on the right has a sign reading "Arrowhead Store" on it.

•    A crane working on one end of the future bridge.  I had to rotate the left one a bit - couldn't stand looking at the world all tilted like that - crane looked like it might slide off.  ;-)

•  Hoisting part of the bridge into place with a crane.

•    The main part of the bridge has been built and the crane is working on it.  The "Arrowhead Store" is visible again near the center of this photo.

•  Work being done on one end of the bridge.  From what little I can see of it, this may be a crane with a clamshell attachment.

•  A crane at one end of the new bridge with a farm in the background.

•  A crane with a dragline attachment apparently dredging the creek bed.  This photo is very strongly backlit and I can't bring out much detail on the crane.

•  A steam shovel in the creek bed near the new bridge.
