Description
Photograph of two men at cable car track manufacturing plant, ca.1890. The two men both have moustaches, and both are wearing hats and suits. They are standing to the right of a metal machine most likely used to make cable car track. Behind them to the right is a lumber pile and a building with a crude shelter added to the left side. Directly behind them is a two-story building, probably the main factory, judging from the seven smoke stacks on the roof. There is a ladder leaned against the clapboard wall of this building.
