The painting depicts a black-and-white photograph of a steam locomotive, positioned in front of a brick building. The train's engine features a large funnel on top and a number "142" on the side. A person is visible on the right side of the engine. In the background, a row of train cars can be seen, while the foreground shows a dirt road with scattered debris. The overall atmosphere of the painting suggests a scene from the late 19th century. This painting is reminiscent of the works of artists associated with the Realism movement.
