My take on Kent's 3 photos:
1. Geographic area: Far west, pre-1900, primitive roadbed, light rail. May be a telegraph pole line to left of trackage.
2. Geographic area: Lehighton,PA. former CNJ bridge (now gone) over LV , 1960s, is one of David Plowden's photos (pg.31;March 1966 TRAINS), note pole line to left of bridge.
3. Geographic area: Great plains, poles indicate "modern" communications line, post-1980.

Very, very close.

1. Edouard Baldus, Southern France, 1861. Baldus was the first photographer to concentrate on railroads. (I have the book.)

2. Correct, 1963. (I have the book.)

3. South Dakota, 2014.
