Description

Photograph of a panoramic view of a train passing through Imperial County, 1904. The train is at center and is long. It is made up mostly of boxcars, although several flat cars are visible. There is no engine visible. A dark, two-story building near the tracks at left is probably a train station, and there are many unidentified buildings in the background at center. The roof of a large barn is visible in the foreground at right. The rest of the foreground is empty, flat land.
