Description

A snapshot of a group of observers at a destroyed railroad trestle at the Los Angeles River, 1914. The image is taken from between two sets of tracks which abruptly end on the river's bank. At the left is part of the top of an electrical pole hanging upside down over one side of the left track. A group of about fifteen persons is gathered on or around the track. In the distance is the opposite bank of the river. With some album paper residue on the reverse, moderate fading, and soiling, the overall condition is good.
