RHH's photos with the keyword: wagon

This is one of the wagons used to haul borax from Death Valley to the railroad at Mojave. The wagons were hauled by teams of mules but not necessarily by twenty-mule teams. The idea caught on, however, and became a trade name under which borax was sold by the Pacific Coast Borax Company. Interestingly, there is still a product with that name being sold by the Dial Corporation with a mule team and wagon logo. The photo was taken at the old Harmony Borax Works in Death Valley National Park.

"The Childhood Express" by Ken Spiering was donated by The Junior League in 1989 and is an interactive sculpture: the handle doubles as a slide. The website for Riverfront Park gives the following information about the wagon: # Created for the Centennial Celebration of Children - 1989. # Dimensions - 12' high x 12' wide x 27' long. # Weight - 26 tons. # Made of steel reinforced concrete. # Will hold as many as 300 people supporting 100 lbs. per square foot.
