Gelatin silverprint panoramic photograph of the Muir Woods and Mt. Tamalpais passenger train with Mt. Tamalpais in the background. Image measures 15x60 cm (6x23½").



Nice view of the Mill Valley and Mt. Tamalpais Scenic Railway, also known as "The Crookedest Railroad in the World." Once located in beautiful Marin County of the San Francisco Bay Area, it traversed the famous “double bow-knot” allowing locals and tourists alike to experience jaw-dropping vistas as they reached the 2,571 foot summit. The trip would end with a daring climb aboard the Gravity Car where the "Gravity Man" would "turn on the gravity," and down they would coast over 8¼ miles, around 281 turns on the mountain's 7% grade to the Mill Valley depot in Muir Woods. Photographer's imprint in the negative, on the side of the engine.

Condition
Old vertical creases and some other wear, backed with modern paper; still an attractive view.
