Description

Photograph of Frank Wiggins and tourists on the cowcatcher of a train, [s.d.]. A train can be seen at right which extends towards the distance at left. A second train can be seen farther back to the left of the first train. Several people, mostly women, can be seen standing on the very front portion of each train. The women wear long dresses and hats. Frank Wiggins can be seen at the center of the group standing on a coupler of the locomotive at right. He is wearing a suit and hat, and has a long gray moustache. A man wearing a suit can be seen standing on the ground at right holding the hands of a woman crouched on the train. A man wearing a tall hat can be seen standing between the two trains. A bridge or overpass can be seen in the background extending over the top of both trains. The number on the locomotive at right reads, "3721".
