Reno Rails

Stanford Libraries, Department of Special Collections, Hart Collection

A group of people, seemingly mostly natives, sit on the side of the tracks at the downtown Reno train depot. A train is unloading at the other platform 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.
