Description
Photograph of a Los Angeles and San Gabriel Railroad bridge under construction over the Arroyo Seco from Highland Park, Los Angeles, 1885. A hill is visible in the foreground, sloping down towards the narrow, unpaved road below. Past some low-growing vegetation, a train is visible moving across a bridge over the Arroyo in the distance. More hills are visible still farther back, along with a house to the left. See also CHS-7073.
