I see a billboard saying, "next time take the train, relax." At the same time there are two men walking along the road who can't even afford a car. I think the photographer Dorothea Lange wanted people to see how companies are still advertising things most Americans couldn't afford at the time. This photograph is telling the story of two poor men that can't afford a car. They are carrying luggage so I infer they are going somewhere they are going to stay for a while. They might be trying to find a new job. At the same time they are walking past a billboard advertising taking a train which I can also infer is to expensive for them.
