If you get out your magnifying glass and look closely at the small b&w photo captioned "Romantic Rubidoux Mountain at Riverside" you'll see dozens (if not actually hundreds) of microscopically tiny people along with a long row in the road of very early automotive coach type cars intended for carrying passengers to tourist locations. Two other views capture splendid directly visible original trolleys and pedestrians walking around them. One view captures the cog rail-like funicular Incline railway line carrying passengers up the mountainside. Prices for the various trips shown in detail in one panel, last car leaving was 9:30 am.

Scarce early 20th century Electric railway promotional brochure for this now long vanished electric trolley railway.
