Title	Side view of Pacific Electric railway car near industrial building, ca.1912
Description	Photograph of side view of Pacific Electric railway car near industrial building, ca.1912. At center, a long railway car can be seen sitting upon its tracks. Along the body of the car, the words "Pacific Electric" are visible, and the numbers "420" can be seen on either side of this title. Two open doors can be seen with small stairwells on either side of the car. Eleven windows are visible between these two doorways. On the top of the car, two metallic rods are seen. One rod near the front of the car lies flat and extends forward. The rod near the back of the car is lifted at an angle and connected to a hanging wire. Two parallel wires are seen above the car running parallel. In the background, an industrial site is seen on the left, and a small, square building is seen on the right. In the extreme foreground, vegetation grows near a small wooden fence. Description on back of the photograph reads: "420 in San Pedro on Hermosillo -- S. Pedro shuttle (narrow gauge) about 1912".
