Description
Photograph of electric car tracks on Monrovia line, ca.1905. At center, a long line of empty electric car tracks can be seen extending from the left to the right of the image at a slight angle. Two sets of tracks can be seen in the image. In the background behind the tracks, a long line of small trees and palm trees run parallel to the tracks. To the far left, two people can be seen standing on either side of the tracks. In the extreme background, large utility poles stand near several tall trees. A faint silhouette of a mountain is seen against the sky.
