Description
Photograph of a railroad car entering the tunnel on the way to Alum Rock Park in San Jose, ca.1900. The railroad car is at center and partially inside a small tunnel cut into a mountain behind it. A man in a railroad uniform is standing near the car at center. The tracks on which the car rides split in the foreground, with one track extending to the left and the other to the center. A large wooden water tank can be seen on the hill in the background, and a wooden fence runs above the tunnel. Several trees and bushes can be seen around the tunnel. Signs on the front of the car read "San Jose Santa Clara 28 Alum Rock Park".
