Reno Rails

The Huntington Library

A group of people, seemingly mostly natives, sit on the side of the tracks at the downtown Reno freight warehouses. A train is unloading at the passenger depot on the other side of the tracks. This photo was supposedly taken in 1869, which was the year that the Transcontinental Railroad was finished. These Central Pacific tracks through Reno were part of that route.
