Photograph of Mount Lowe Railway car on trestle, ca.1907. In the background at center, a railway car can be seen moving along a horizontal section of track above a cliff. A metal arm can be seen extending from the top of the car and attaching to a wire above. Below the track, six trestles can be seen supporting the rails.
