Description
A press photo of the completion of the Southern Pacific Railroad line to Los Angeles from the north, 5 September 1876, issued 3 September 1926, International Newsreel Photo. The image several dozen people on a tract and in an adjoining train with the caption stating that "this photo shows the passengers upon their arrival fifty years ago," as that anniversary was to be celebrated on the date noted. A stamp also has the date Sep 8 1926, probably a filing date, while there is an International Newsreel stamp, as well. With some stains, light soiling and mild creasing, the overall condition is good.
