Depot and Train
Image
View down tracks towards a locomotive pulling a passenger train into the depot. A conductor stands in an open door. Another conductor and passengers stand on the platform. There are freight cars standing on tracks on the left in front of a water tower. Logs are piled in the foreground on the right. Behind the logs are two young children, one wearing a straw hat, the other a stocking cap. In the far background is a steep bluff.
