Artist, American, born 1951

The image displays a railway scene with tracks extending into the distance. A row of trees and industrial structures can be seen near the horizon, against a cloudy sky. In the foreground, there is a weathered building, wire fence, power lines, and utility poles. Two trains are visible: one stationary, labeled "Conrail," and another moving on the opposite side. The color scheme is monochromatic with various shades of gray, and the lighting is subdued due to overcast clouds.
