Description

Photo of Southern Pacific engine #9 hauling a long line of flatbed cars full of people. The event is likely a special railfans run and the location is Owenyo. There is another engine to the left of it and on the far left a line of Southern Pacific passenger and box cars. There are lots of people missing around. Buildings in background, a camera is visible in the lower right corner. A hook/lift structure used for transferring or unloading railroad cars is visible in the background. An old interpretative label says: Busy yard at Owenyo for celebration. Narrow gauge engines #9 and #18 on the right and middle, and the broad gauge cars on the far left. Written in pencil on reverse: 58. Stamped in purple ink with W. F. Tommer's address.
