The image is taken from a ground-level point of view, looking across a railroad yard. In the middle area, there are several flatbed railcars parallel to a row of stone buildings with numerous chimneys. The horizon is not distinctly visible, as the buildings and railcars dominate the scene. There is a prominent brick chimney rising from the largest building. Close to us, there is a wooden structure on saw horses. Beyond this, standing on the ground, are two figures. The sky above is clear, contributing to an overall monochromatic palette dominated by sepia tones. A telegraph pole stands upright in the middle area.
