Japanese Americans waiting for train

#JapaneseAmericans #photography #DorotheaLange

This black and white photograph depicts a large group of people gathered on the platform at what appears to be an old-fashioned train station. The crowd is diverse, with individuals dressed in various styles indicative of early 20th-century fashion. Many are carrying luggage or suitcases, suggesting they may be waiting for transportation. In the foreground, there's a set of railroad tracks running parallel to the platform.

The architecture features wooden pillars supporting an overhang where people stand under protection from sun and rain. A railway crossing signal stands prominently in the background with electric poles lining the scene, hinting at the technological infrastructure of that era.

This image captures a moment frozen in time, likely during the early-to-mid 20th century, illustrating daily life and travel practices of Japanese Americans as they waited for their trains to depart.
