Orange tree and tourist train, Hollywood, [1905-1910?], rephotographed 1934

Description:
Possibly related to the article “When Hollywood and I Were Babies, by Sally Taft Teschke (The first white girl born in Hollywood).” Los Angeles Times, 2 Dec. 1934. Article introduction reads: “Lion trails in Griffith Park--A dummy steam train on the boulevard--the snowstorm that left us white--orange souvenirs for the tourists and many another thing you never knew about the most famed city in the world.” Article reads, in part: "An early recollection was of the 'dummy' steam engine which ran along Hollywood Boulevard (then Prospect Avenue). There were seven Taft children and the engineer of that primitive street car always had to stop in front of our house to remove one or more of the Tafts from his track. ...One of the features of the P.E.’s excursion among the orange groves was that the tourist was told he could actually pick a real orange off the tree. So when the cars came through each day we would have to protect our groves from the devouring hands of tourists."
