Description

Photograph of Mount Lowe Railway serpentine track moving through trees, showing greater detail, [s.d.]. To the left, a winding section of track can be seen moving through a dense cluster of trees. The track curves upwards into the forest and vanishes from sight temporarily. In the dense forest at left, a small section of track is visible. At center, another small section of track can be seen and soon vanishes from sight beneath the thick cluster of trees. Further to the right, another section of track is visible. This section can be seen winding through the forest before becoming visible again in the foreground at right. In the extreme background at right, large mountain ranges are visible.
