  The cars all appear to be very early 20's or teens.  The most visible
one wears a radiator shell that looks aftermarket.  The front springs
are not Ford.  The insulators on the two poles are too fuzzy to PID,
but it is onteresting to note the C&S owned telegraph line on the crossarm
AND a private telephone lead coming in on sidepins on the shorter pole.
Would this be Mountain States Telephone Company, or perhaps a local
private interest connecting to the depot for some reason ?  I do not
know enough history of the Clear Creek area to speculate on who might
have had an interest in doing that in the Georgetown area, but is was not
that uncommon back in the day for private interests to connect to the
depot for business and news.
