Description
Photograph of Mount Lowe Railway car on circular bridge, 1915. At center, a railway car in the shape of a trolley can be seen moving on a circular track curving to the right. Several people can be seen seated in the trolley, with a single man standing at the head of the car. Several wooden poles can be seen to the right of the track supporting rows of wires above the car. A metal arm extending from the roof of the car can be seen attached to one of the wires. To the left of the car, a steep drop can be seen. Wooden beams support a small section of the track below. In the extreme background, large mountains and a large view of a city can be seen at left. Photoprint reads: "Gift of Charles G. Seims, 685 East Las Flores Dr., Altadena, Calif".
