From this item, LOI has digitized a textual record.

This contact sheet consists of ten images.

Going from left to right on the top row; the first image shows a group men standing in front of a building under a sign that reads "GREENWOOD." There is also a sign to the right that says "CANADIAN PACIFIC EXPRESS." The second image shows a group of men, women, and children inside a train. The third image shows a group of people standing outside of a train. The fourth image shows a group of people, mainly women, standing outside of a train. The fifth and last image on this row shows a group of people waving to the passengers on the train.

Going from left to right on the bottom row; the first image is a baseball team photo. The words "GREENWOOD LABOR DAY - 1943" can also be found on bottom left hand corner of the image. The second image shows an overview of a town. The third image shows a picture of children in the foreground and adults behind the children. The fourth image is similar to the third image but the children are in different poses and the angle of the shot is different. The fifth image is a group of people standing outside and waiting in front of some vehicles.
