A horizontally oriented black ink lithograph depicts approximately twenty men with light skin tones working around a small rail car. On the left, figures push the vehicle, which carries a barrel. Others stand atop the car. Simplified multistory buildings, utility poles, and a railroad crossing sign rise against a dark sky. High contrast between black shadows and white highlights defines the forms above grainy railroad ties in the foreground.
