Description
Photograph of the first Santa Fe Railroad locomotive to enter Los Angeles, [s.d.]. The large steam locomotive is at center and is facing to the right. A large tender car is coupled behind at left. The engine has a large flared smokestack near the front, and a triangular cow catcher is mounted near the tracks. A man is leaning on the locomotive near the back wheel at center, and two other men are visible near the engineer's compartment. A wall with a line of open archways at its base runs behind the train, and several empty tracks are visible in front of it. Several numbers and phrases are painted on the train, and they include, from left to right, "[...] T. & S. F. R. R.", "L. Severy", and "354".
