Photograph of passengers on the Sierra Madre Stage Coach, Highland Park, Los Angeles, ca.1895. A group of at least a dozen passengers sit in a large carriage pulled by two horses, one white, one black. Rail tracks are visible embedded alongside them in the foreground, possibly from the San Gabriel Rail Road that the Stage's route was connected with for Los Angeles at Highland Park. Trees in the background overhand the travelers.
