Description
Photograph Mount Lowe railway car on circular bridge, 1895-1900. In the extreme foreground at right, a section of the circular track can be seen extending over a steep drop. At center, a railway car with a painted number "5" can be seen on the track. At least twelve people can be seen riding in the car. A large metallic pole can be seen extending from the top of the car and meeting with another pole extending from a post to the right of the tracks.
