Description	Photograph of "Wedding of the rails", a re-enactment of the ceremony celebrating the connection of Los Angeles and San Francisco by the Southern Pacific Railroad, showing a train moving along the tracks, 1926. Several men in suits stand along the tracks in the foreground on the left while a train pulls in at center.
