Description
Photographic portrait of seven men in front of an engine and passenger car of a little "Dummy" railroad that ran from the end of the Temple Street cable railroad at Hoover Street to the foothills at east Hollywood, ca.1892. Two men in suits lean against the passenger car to the left, which is filled with passengers, while a third man also leans further down the car. Two more civilians and the conductor are seated and standing at the connection point between the locomotive engine and the passenger car. The engineer, who was employed by the RR for 18 years, is pictured standing just outside the engine's cabin. The seats inside the passenger car appear to be unsecured regular wooden chairs. The engineer's brother was also employed for 16 years as a fireman.
