"Wedding of the rails", showing the crowd moving towards the right, 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 moving towards the right, 1926. The finely-dressed crowd in the foreground tries to inch its way towards the right. The train stands behind them with several men dressed as cowboys and Mexicans still standing on its small platform. They look towards the right, one with a guitar in his hand.
