Photograph of people seated on a railroad pier in Newport Beach, ca.1908. The pier is in the foreground at right and a large number of people is seated on the left edge of the wooden structure. A pair of metal railroad tracks run down the pier, and two flatbed railroad cars are visible with more people seated on them.
