Photograph. Sepia-toned photo showing three policemen who are seated on a platform beside a small railroad track building (possibly for a switchman). All three men appear to be reading a newspaper. A line of railroad boxcars can be seen in the background. The photo might have been taken during a switchmen's strike in May, 1920, and was probably taken at a Michigan Central railroad yard near Detroit.
