The image shows a scene with a railroad track leading into the distance, a train approaching from the right side, and cows near the tracks. One cow is lying on the tracks. A person stands beside the track with arms raised. The artwork features fine lines and cross-hatching, creating an etched appearance. The horizon is high in the composition with trees and buildings in the distance. The palette is monochromatic, and there are detailed elements like the train, grass, cows, and a telegraph pole. In the background, there are trees and hills extending across the image.
