This is a black and white contact sheet with several small rectangular frames showing different moments in a mountainous landscape. The scenes include a railway track, a train or locomotive, rugged terrain, people in heavy coats, and interactions with the train such as maintenance or loading activities. The terrain is barren with hills or rocky outcrops, all in varying shades of gray. A red '7' is hand-marked across the contact sheet.
