Did you see this dramatic night shot on eBay?

This looks like it might have been done for Caterpillar to show an application for a engine/generator set. The picture was taken by a professional photographer that did quite a bit of advance preparation for the photo shoot. The number in the lower right corner is a reference number for a photo filing system.
Buckles, were you on the show that year and if so, do you remember this taking place?

Yes we were on the show that season and my father would be one of the men in khaki. That's Arky Scott wearing the helmet.
I would have been 11 at the time and don't remember the event at all.

To David Price,
Where did you get this picture and is there any information on the back of the picture?

The guy sitting on the wagon pole behind the generator must have been stone deaf.
