California Street circa 1900

Ferries & Cliff House steam train with four passenger cars, somewhere in Richmond District dunes. Man and two boys (Levin family?) crouching in sand below tracks. Hard to locate because right-of-way was nearly identical for about thirty blocks. (Also called the Cliff Line train. It was converted to electric streetcar operations in 1905.)
