Tibbits was a San Francisco-based photographer who worked for the Southern Pacific Railroad for 40 years (starting in 1892). During this time, he photographed the American West, Canada, and Mexico, including landscapes, towns, agriculture, parks, and more. He is particularly known for images along the Sunset line, which ran from New Orleans to San Francisco.
