The image shows a coastal scene with a railroad switch yard. The horizon is centered, with the sea visible below and dynamic cloud formations above. The color palette is monochromatic. In the foreground, a train car sits on diagonal tracks. Telephone poles and wires lead towards a building, lamppost, and two figures walking. A steamship is seen in the distance on the ocean.
