Description
Photograph of aerial view of Mount Lowe Railway track at Horseshoe Loop, showing view of surrounding area, [s.d.]. At the bottom of the image, a track can be seen moving alongside a steep mountain slope covered in thick vegetation at left. Further to the right, another track can be seen surrounded by scrub brush. In the background at center, a track can be seen moving further to the right through a thick forest of trees. To the far left, another track also parts the dense forest. Above the line of trees and vegetation, outlines of mountain ranges can be seen in the background. A valley is also visible to the far right. Image is a wider shot compared to CHS-1380.
