Photograph, from left to right, of: Charles Glenn, David Sparks, Herbert Shull, Robert Steffens and Bill Wood standing in group near the railroad tracks at the Southern Pacific Railroad depot in San Luis Obispo. Railroad tracks stretch across the bottom edge on an upward angle from left to right. Bill Wood stands rightmost, balanced atop the far rail. He places his hand on Herbert Shulls back to brace himself as he turns to look to the camera. Herbert Shull stands beyond the tracks in the center of the group. His back faces right, but he turns his head to look to the camera. In front at left, Charles Glenn also stands on the far train rail and looks to the camera. David Sparks and Robert Steffens (second from left and second from right, respectively) stand behind the other three and look to the camera. All the men are dressed in military uniforms. Behind them, the corner of a building stands along the left edge. Wood framing on a building under construction juts out from it at center. Another building stands in the background at right.
