Description
Photograph of the Ventura side of first railroad crossing on the Rincon, north of Ventura, ca.1920. A narrow road is visible curving from the left towards the background. A white sign reads, "Danger. Sharp Curve. Drive Slow. Tunnel Ahead. Sound Horn" to the right of the road, while shrubs in rocky soil are visible to the left and right. What appears to be a wagon is parked to the right of the sign, while miscellaneous items are dumped on the left side of the road. A hill slopes upward in the right background, while utility poles, elevated railroad tracks, and what appears to be the ocean is visible in the left background.
