This reel of film contains several films documenting the Mt. Lowe Railroad near Pasadena, California. The first, filmed by cameramen dispatched by Thomas A. Edison, is a silent film that shows a trip up Rubio Canyon aboard one of the trolley cars. The second silent film, possibly a home movie from the 1920s, begins around 1:59. It starts at the base of the Mt. Lowe Incline Railway, a funicular that connected to the trolley system. At 2:18 one of the two funicular cars descends on the track. At 2:35 the trolley right of way is shown (the subject of the earlier Edison film). At 5:24 another silent film shows passengers boarding the funicular at 5:25 and ascending up the canyon. At 6:07 they board one of the Pacific Electric trolley cars. At 6:50 another film shows a view of the funicular roadbed. At 7:44 the Echo Mountain House, the terminus of the funicular, is shown with tourists eagerly looking out at the view. At 8:33 is a look at the Circular Bridge, the most famous part of the trolley line. The film ends at 9:06 with views of a scenic overlook which is still extant on the mountain today and, at 9:16, a shot of a mule car.

My grandmother had her grad night up at the Tavern Hotel. I did not see it here. She talked about it several times. I of course of hiked ALL of the right-away more then once and still do. Thanks for the video!
I Hiked The Mt. Lowe Railway from The Base to the Tavern Ruins With My Good Friend, Hiking Buddy & Vetetinarian, The Late, Great Dr. John Oltman, D.V.M. Great Trail...Good Times!
Thomas Edison...? How cool is that.. I love such nostalgic film footage as this. Those were the days... I'm not that old, But.....to me those were good days.
you ever feel like if a time warp dropped you there , you'd fit right in ?
Neat, Noticing the conformity of the men, all wearing suits and ties and identical hats, different era for certain.
Nothing Changes : dudes in blue jeans , tennis shoes , black T-shirts , baseball caps pointing the wrong way covered in tattoos ... blending all in like a school of fish
Most exciting adventure in so cal.
Wish I was born 100 years ago.

It's like riding the wild mouse.
A great find. I am guessing that the camera operator was not the editor.
My studio starting to make silent films.
Oh, i like that :v
You wonder if those track lines are still there...
Gone decades ago, there are still some remnants mostly footings but not much else. I used to mountain bike the old ROW from the top of the incline to the Alpine Tavern ruins.
