Crowd gathering around a train at a station, ca.1930-1940

Photograph of crowd gathering around a train at a station, ca.1930-1940. At center, a large darkly-colored train is visible. The body of the train is shown at a slight angle, extending from the horizon at left to the center. The train is composed of several compartments, and several windows can be seen lining each compartment. To the immediate left and right of the plane, tall utility poles can be seen running parallel to the train extending into the horizon. In the background to the left, the letter "S" is seen painted onto the side of a pole. In the immediate foreground at center, a large "X" is visible on the side of another pole. Standing alongside these poles near the train, crowds of men, women, and children are seen. In the extreme background, a tall clock tower and several surrounding buildings can be seen.

本照片拍摄于约1930年至1940年间，记录了某车站内人群聚集于列车旁的场景。画面中央可见一列大型深色列车，车身呈轻微倾斜角度，从左侧地平线延伸至画面中央。该列车由多节车厢构成，每节车厢外壁均排布有若干车窗。画面左右近旁，多根高大的电线杆与列车平行延伸，直至地平线。左侧背景中，一根电线杆的侧面印有字母“S”。画面中央的近景处，另一根电线杆的侧面印有醒目的大写“X”。列车旁的电线杆沿线聚集着众多男女老少。在最远的背景中，可见一座高耸的钟楼及周边的若干建筑。
