A collection of 25 photographs, most likely compiled by railroad electrical engineer Samuel Horace Anderson, with an emphasis on early transportation innovations and technologies. The group includes railway-related images in Los Angeles, California, as well as a few from Seattle, Washington (items 3-7); views of various trolley cars of the Pacific Electric Railway and Los Angeles Railway; Barn No. 1 of the Los Angeles Railway with six horse-drawn tower cars lined up in front of the building (item 10); two photographs of a man in an automobile captioned "1910, Mr. Taber & demonstrating his patent wind-shield on Mr. S. Horace Anderson's 1908 Franklin" (items 14-15); views of inventor Joseph Fawke's "Aerial Swallow," an experimental, propeller-driven monorail which was built in Burbank in 1911 or 1912 (items 16-18); a 1918 commercial photograph of two men with a giant swordfish at Catalina Island (item 20); and two photographs of a Chutes amusement park water ride (also known as Washington Garden, at Washington and Grand in Los Angeles) (items 21-22). There are also some recreational group portraits as well as a studio portrait of S. Horace Anderson (Item 1), who also appears to be present in the group photograph taken in Hot Springs, Arkansas (Item 25).
