Found two major expositions held in the US beginning of 20th century, both celebrating the opening of the Panama Canal:
1) The Panama–California Exposition was an exposition held in San Diego, California, between January 1, 1915, and January 1, 1917,
2) The Panama–Pacific International Exposition was a world's fair held in San Francisco, California, United States, from February 20 to December 4, 1915
Is that picture taken at one of the two events?

Think to have found the solution: 'Fagdl Auto Train'. These trains were designed and built by R. B. Fageol of Oakland in 1915.

The Fadgl Auto Train Inc., has been carrying approximately one fourth of all Panama-Pacific Exposition visitors in eighteen, three car trains of sixty-six seating capacity, or 105 total capacity per train.The automobile, or tractor, is of special design, weighing 6,000 lb. and having 20-in. wheels with solid rubber tires. The tractor hauls three trailers, each weighing 1,500 lb. These cars have 24-in. wheels and 12-ft. wheelbase. They have side seats back to back, with a passage between for the use of the conductor. At the ends the seats are raised to clear the wheels.
The Ford Model T was selected as the motive power unit for the auto train. The frame of the Ford tractors were modified with a beefed-up frame and a Rollie B. Fageol-designed reduction gear-set that limit its speed while providing the greatest amount of torque from the seemingly overtaxed 4-cylinder Ford engine.
