Description
Chevrolet pickup truck filled with boxes tied on to the flat bed, next to engine number seven of the Mount Tamalpais and Muir Woods Railway near the summit of Mount Tamalpais. Two men are in the pickup truck. One man stands to the locomotive looking at the pickup truck. Another man stands near the other side of the pickup truck. The engineer is leaning out the window in the locomotive also looking at the pickup truck. The locomotive is emanating steam. The tender in back of the locomotive is attached to an open air passenger railroad car which is only partially visible on the left side of the photo. The car is filled with tourists. The mountain can be seen in the background. There is also a water tank up the mountain a ways. According to the photo, the pickup truck drive up the mountain with the train and now the train is ready to depart to return to the bottom of the mountain. This photo is very similar to 199.
