Photograph of raw silk from Japan being loaded into railroad cars for shipment to New York City, September 17, 1930. A long boxcar stretches across the image from left to right. A wooden ramp leads up to a set open double doors in the middle of the car, and a worker can be seen pushing a dolly loaded with bags of silk into the car. Another man can be seen standing inside the railroad car. The freighter Tokai Maru brought the cargo to Los Angeles Harbor from Japan.
