"Wedding of the rails", showing a train moving along the tracks, 1926

Photograph of "Wedding of the rails", a re-enactment of the ceremony celebrating the connection of Los Angeles and San Francisco by the Southern Pacific Railroad, showing a train moving along the tracks, 1926. Several men in suits stand along the tracks in the foreground on the left while a train pulls in at center. The conductor peers out his window as the crowd on the far side of the tracks on the right wave their hats to him. A small building stands behind the train with tall trees standing over it.

这张1926年拍摄的照片名为“铁轨婚礼（Wedding of the rails）”，记录了由南太平洋铁路公司（Southern Pacific Railroad）举办的、纪念洛杉矶与旧金山铁路贯通的纪念仪式重演场景，画面中一列火车正沿轨道行驶。画面左侧前景处有数名身着正装的男子沿轨道站立，一列火车正驶入画面中央；轨道右侧远端的人群正挥舞帽子向从车窗探身向外张望的列车长致意。火车后方坐落着一座小型建筑，建筑周围环绕着高大的树木。
