Description
Photograph of the Cahuenga Valley Railroad that ran from Hollywood to Santa Monica, 1889. A young conductor stands in his uniform next to a locamotive trailing its coal car and a passenger car. The word "Cahuenga" is legible on its side. The engine sports a cow catcher and a straight stack, from which smoke and steam are billowing. The engineer stands at the back running board of the engine while a child in a dark coat and hat peers out the engine's window.
