Photograph of a view of a streetcar on Third Street west of Hill Street, Los Angeles, 1901. The streetcar can be seen at left in the middle of a dirt road. A woman and a child can be seen on a sidewalk at center. In the background, a tunnel is visible, and eucalyptus tress can be seen nearby. A palm tree is visible in the foreground at right.
