"Wedding of the rails", showing the crowd gathered on the tracks, 1926

Photograph of the "Wedding of the rails", a re-enactment of the ceremony celebrating the connection of Los Angeles and San Francisco by the Southern Pacific Railroads, showing the crowd gathered on the tracks, 1926. One woman dressed in a Native American costume stands out against the crowd of women in floral dresses and men in suits and tall hats. The railroad tracks lie below their feet while the railroad car stands on the left. Young boys watch the festivities from the roof of a small structure in the background on the right.
