Description
Photograph of celebrators and streetcars during the opening of the Pico Heights Electric Railway, 1887. A large group of men in suits congregate in front of two sets of cable cars, each of which is positioned on its own track. The signs on the cars read "Plaza, Pico Street, Pico Heights" and feature candy-striped canvas flaps along the sides that have been pulled back and tied to the streetcars' railings. The ground in front is unpaved.
