A rare photo of San Bernardino, Arrowhead & Waterman RR using predecessor Highland RR car and engine on a return trip past Harlem Springs after leaving the Patton Asylum (later State Hospital). The Harlem Springs had great recreational popularity with weekend traffic until superceded by much closer Urbita Springs, which was within city limits. This 1896 photo has "W.K., conductor", "White, fireman", and "Nesbet, engineer", written in pencil and noting respectively the three men on the extreme right of the photo (two inside the train cab and one standing between the train and the passenger car). Passengers can be seen inside the passenger cars, as well as lingering outside.
