The image shows a black Norfolk and Western locomotive train on a railway track. The train is numbered 8530 and has the words "Norfolk and Western" written on the side in white lettering. There are two other locomotives visible in the background, one on the right side of the image and the other on the left side. The locomotive in the foreground is a freight train with a blue and orange stripe running along the side. It appears to be moving along the track, with a grassy field in the distance. The sky is overcast and the overall mood of the photo is somber.
