Children running toward the train at the zoo in Birmingham, Alabama.

The Birmingham Zoo Railroad workers were picketing in conjunction with a nationwide rail strike. The demonstration was a gesture of sympathy and solidarity, but the zoo employees did not actually belong to a union. When their young passengers protested, the men resumed operation of the train.
