Photograph of orange grove, showing Southern Pacific passenger train moving in the background, ca.1880. At center, a large orange grove is clearly visible. Numerous lines of orange trees can be seen stretching from the left to the right of the image. In the background, a five-compartment passenger train can be seen moving to the right. Several windows line the side of the back three compartments, while very few windows can be seen along the two compartments directly behind the train. Above the train, large plumes of white smoke are clearly seen tilting to the left. Beyond the train, several more orchard fields are visible. In the extreme background, an enormous mountain frames the bleak sky.

Description The California Historical Society Collection is incomparable for the documentary picture it provides of the growth of Southern California, particularly the development of the Los Angeles region, between 1860 and 1960. The collection contains more than 25,000 photographs. The full archive was placed on long-term deposit at USC in 1990 and includes the Title Insurance and Trust Company Collection, also known as TICOR, and the Los Angeles Area Chamber of Commerce Collection.
