Description
Photograph of railroad tracks leading to a big wharf in Santa Monica, March 3, 1894. The tracks are visible cutting into the frame from the bottom right corner, moving off past a stopped freight car which stands along the palisades and curving left out over the wharf. The wharf itself extends out across low-tide, out into the ocean. To the far left, a post-and-rail fence lines the edge of the beach. Mountains are visible along the horizon in the distance.
