Photograph. Black and white photo showing an electrical transformer that is to be moved to the Detroit Edison Company Macomb Substation. The view shows a large electrical transformer that has recently been unloaded from the nearby railroad track siding and is being prepared for loading onto a heavy moving truck. Four workers are standing on or beside two moving trucks near the center of the photo while two other workers are standing next to the General Electric transformer that is resting on a temporary base made of several layers of railroad ties. Two railroad boxcars, a loading platform, and a wood frame building can be seen at the far left side of the photo. A truck that is parked beside the loading platform shows the name, "Morris G. Laramie," on the side door. A railroad track siding and several wood frame buildings can be seen at the far right side of the photo.
