The image is a black and white photograph of a subway train passing through a station. The train is blurred, but it appears to be moving at a high speed. The image is taken from a low angle, looking up at the train as it passes through the station platform. The platform is made of metal bars and there is a number 55 on the right side of the image. The background is dark, making the train stand out even more. The overall mood of the photograph is somber and contemplative.
