A group of four women and eight men wearing nice clothes and hats and standing on and in front of the caboose of a train. Three of the men are standing on the tracks in front of the train, while the rest of the group is standing or sitting on the platform at the back end of the train. Probably taken in California? One of forty-eight glass plate negatives originally housed together with a note by Latta reading "Frank Robinson Merced Area Misc. Unidentified." More than half of the images feature the World's Columbian Exposition, held in Chicago in 1893, hence the suggested date.
