Those photos are all from the SP&S Crooked River bridge [Oregon] construction, around 1910. Photos from this Wasco County page: [tdwhs.nwasco.k12.or.us]

In the 3rd photo, note the 'vertical' boiler on the right rear corner of the traveling crane, presumably providing power for the crane. No doubt there was a 'fireman' working up there tending to the boiler.
