A line of people snakes out of a bus that will take them to Tanforan Race Track. The bus is parked in front of several cars and houses, and the line of people and luggage curves around the foreground of the image. A military policeman with a rifle stands by the open bus door. Mine and her brother (in a hat) are at the very foreground of the image, on the right hand side.
