Old Photograph-"T" engine powered towable water pump

A nice portable conversion used by Southern California Edison. Photographs are dated 1928- no word on those cars in the shed!

Second photo, cars in the shed. My first thought on the one car, was a late '10s Maxwell, but when I clicked to the full size image I could clearly see that it was in fact an about '20/'22 Overland (unusual front spring setup). The shadow on the radiator fooled me! The other car I think is an early/mid '20s Willys Knight.
Neat photos! Thank you.
