A vertically oriented lithograph in black ink on tan paper depicts a rocky excavation with tiered slopes. In the foreground, railroad tracks run diagonally from the lower left toward the right. At the center, a locomotive and steam shovel release large plumes of smoke. A rounded mountain rises in the background. Billowing clouds of smoke and steam, rendered with dense hatching and soft shading, fill the upper composition and partially obscure the sky.
