A woodblock in black relief depicts a locomotive crossing a bridge. In the center, a train engine features multiple wheels and a chimney emitting smoke that curves toward the upper left. On the right, angular, blocky houses rise on a steep hillside. Three large arches span the bottom. The entire surface is deeply carved with rough, gouged textures, creating a pattern of expressive lines and sharp angles throughout the composition.
