Group portrait of men in front of a streetcar (or trolley) that says "The S.B.V. Traction Co." across top, which stands for the San Bernardino Valley Traction Company, a railway company. There is a label on the back of the photograph for "Baker Iron Works," but it is not clear if these are employees of that company. Title devised by cataloger. "Baker Iron Works, engineers, machinists, machinery merchants, Los Angeles" label on verso. Date approximated by cataloger based on history of company; in 1903, several lines consolidated under this name San Bernardino Valley Traction Company.
