The image shows five men leaning out of the windows of a train car with only their upper bodies and faces visible. They appear to be standing within the compartment, close to the windows, looking outside. Each man has short hair and their expressions range from neutral to contemplative. The man at the forefront wears a short-sleeved collared shirt and leans slightly forward through the window, while the others are dressed in long-sleeved shirts, some rolling the sleeves up to their elbows. The exterior of the train car is visible, made of riveted metal plates with large rectangular windows.
