Mount Tamalpais R.R., nº 1

Taken on the line of the Mount Tamaltais [sic] Scenic R.R. , Marin County, Cal. This scene was taken from the rear end of a train. The train on which the camera is placed moves forward and is followed by another train, engine first, with two men standing on the cow-catcher. From this a receding effect is produced, but the engine with the men on the cow-catcher are constantly in the immediate foreground. The depot gradually recedes from view, while immense mountains loom up in the background. The effect is extremely novel. Sharp and clear.
