Description: Visiting Mount Lowe was a "must" for the local inhabitants as well as tourists. The journey started at Mountain Junction in Altadena, moved by electric car (seen on the left) to Rubio Pavilion, the bottom terminus of the Cable Incline Railway (seen in the middle of the picture as it rises up the mountain). Here we see many visitors crowded around the bottom of the station as a cable car (named "Rubio") begins its ascent.
