Muslim refugees on a train bound for Pakistan

A photograph of Muslim refugees climbing onto the locomotive engine of a train bound for Pakistan in 1947.

Article on the back reads “Moslem Refugees Cram the Locomotive of Train Bound for Pakistan. Moslem refugees crowd all over the locomotive as, panic stricken, they flee from the New Delhi area to Pakistan. The trains are absolutely crammed – the roofs, between coaches – wherever they can stand or cling to. This photo illustrates why casualties are so heavy when these refugee trains are attacked.” Associated Press Photo.
