Description: Three cameras film the explosion of a miniature railway car in a mock port scene, for the training film "Ammunition Handlers," at the U.S. Naval Photographic Services Depot, Hollywood, CA. One camera is padded for protection, while wooden barriers have been constructed to shield two additional cameras and the U.S. Navy film crew. Image taken from a photo album documenting the operations of the Depot during World War II.
