Description
Access to this collection is generously supported by Arcadia funds. Photograph of a train from the Mt. Tamalpais and Muir Woods Railroad appearing to climb up to Mt. Tamalpais. Three cars of the train are visible as they appear to climb the mountain on an incline from left to right. It is viewed at an angle from the side. What looks to be the caboose sits leftmost. A smokestack billows smoke from the right side of the car. An engine appears to be enclosed inside the car and an operator sits at the back of the car, facing right. Two additional cars travel the tracks ahead (to the right) of the caboose. Both appear to be passenger cars and recede into the distance. A man walks with his back to the camera alongside the right side of the middle car. A couple of mountainsides rise in the background. Text from negative sleeve: 971. Mt Tamalpais. About 1900. 3 views of track. 1 of the train. 1 of the station. 5 negatives.
