Description
Photograph of a birdseye view of Santa Monica, showing Southern Pacific excursion trains, [s.d.]. Pedestrians are shown traversing the paths of a park in the foreground, while a two-story clapboard-sided home to the right bears a sign which reads "The Cheapest Cleanest Best Meals 25 cents". Filling the left background, two steam trains are pictured hoving into station while new passengers await near the tracks. In the distance behind them, a residential area can be seen.
