The photographer (Mildred Bailey) presents an intimate workplace study capturing, without inhibition, the day-to-day lives of her friends and contemporaries. It’s clear that Bailey’s photographic hobby was familiar to her cohort; some are caught with natural smiles while others strike easy and jovial poses alongside gleaming Streamliner coaches. This station serviced areas throughout the Midwest and East, including Cincinnati and Detroit, destination signs for which are visible in the bus windows.
