Description

Photograph of a view of an electric railroad car on tracks near Euclid Avenue in Upland, ca.1905. The small wooden car is at center and is traveling on narrow metal tracks. A bicycle is attached to the front of the car, and a long metal arm reaches for a power line overhead. The tracks are lined with tall eucalyptus trees. Two roads are visible, one on each side of the tracks. Both are unpaved, and many trees can be seen along the edges.
