The image shows a black and white photograph of an urban intersection. In the foreground, a paved road leads to a brick building with a triangular roof and windows, featuring a "NEM INDUSTRIES" sign. Beside the building, railroad tracks run parallel to the street, with a railroad crossing sign and signals on the left. Wires are seen on a tall utility pole. In the background, more structures and trees line the tracks under a clear sky.
