"Wedding of the rails", showing three men and a woman in costume, 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 three men and a woman in costume, 1926. The woman stands at center in a lightly-colored, western-style dress with a dark umbrella over her shoulder and feathers in her hair. The men to the immediate right and left of her wear matching dark suits with long jackets, lightly-colored shirts, canes and top hats. The woman smiles as she looks to the right where an elderly man stands in a dark jacket and a conductor's hat. The crowd stands behind them.
