This is a photo of an immigrant family sitting in the interior of a train car. The shelving has been installed by the immigrants.Lower beds with space below for baggage. Small shelf in rear for parcels. There are four small openings in the cars and two big iron doors. 25-28 persons traveled in these cars. The family is that of Jakob Jakob Schellenberg, former teacher in Schoenwiese, Russia, but others are also on the photo. The woman on the left is Mrs. Justina Dyck (see 665:113). The boy next to Jakob Schellenberg, is Jakob Jr. (or Jack as he was later called). The woman on the right presumably is Justina Schellenberg, the wife of Jakob and mother of Jack. The little girl is possibly Justina Dyck's daughter. These immigrants were part of the 2nd train, the Schoenwieser Group.
