Description
Access to this collection is generously supported by Arcadia funds. Photograph of a wide ditch created by the washout of the Southern Pacific Railroad near San Dimas. The tunnel view looks down into the ditch from above. It is widest along the bottom edge of the frame and recedes into the distance at center. A portion of the track extends into the frame at right. The track remnants hang over the ditch. Tall earthen walls sink down along either side of the ditch. A fence lines the top of the ditch at right and utility poles line the top of the ditch at left. Trees and hills stand in the far distance. Text from negative sleeve: 1171. San Dimas, California, about 1899. Three views of a very bad washout of the S.P.R.R. railroad between Bassett and Covina Couple S.P. surveyors down in the washed out roadbed, but cannot identify them. 3 films
