Abstract:

Album contains reproductions of photographs documenting flood damage to various sections of Union Pacific Railroad lines from the Los Angeles area eastward to the Las Vegas area following winter storms of 1938. Images document damage to the Main Line as well as the Pasadena, Glendale, San Pedro, Anaheim, Rialto, and St. Thomas branches.
