More from John Collier, September 1942, in Richwood, West Virginia:

"Baltimore & Ohio train will take 300 men and women recruited by the U.S. Department of Agriculture in day coaches to harvest crops in New York State."

"Trainload of migratory workers (mostly high school students, many accompanied by family members) in day coach bound for the harvest fields in New York state."

"Boys sleeping as best they can on special train from Richwood, West Virginia, to upper New York state to work in the harvest."
