Are they old photographs or new ones made to look old?

I favour the old photo idea because of all the wide open space!

These photographs came from an estate from Belleville Ill. area. The engine is lettered FRISCO. In one photo it looks like the back of a roundhouse. Any added info welcomed.

Click on photo to enlarge.
