The image shows a Milwaukee Road locomotive, numbered 478, on a railway track. The locomotive is painted in a bright orange color with the words "Milwaukee Road" written in black on the side. The number 478 is prominently displayed on the front of the locomotive. There are two other locomotives visible in the background, one on the left side of the image and the other on the right side. A freight train can be seen in the distance. The sky is overcast and there are power lines and power poles visible. The image appears to be taken from a distance, as there are no other trains or buildings in the frame.
