Description:
Three young ladies stand in a gravity car, which is an open railcar that was pulled up the mountain by train from Mill Valley and then coasted back down to Mill Valley or Muir Woods at approx. 12 mph. The ladies/girls are casually dressed in short sleeve outfits. One has a bandana over her hair. They are all smiling at the camera. The railcar that looks like a steel box reads "Mt. Tamalpais, Gavity, 22" on the side.
