A horizontal woodcut print in black ink depicts a blocky locomotive moving right across a bridge defined by three dark, jagged arches. Simple line-drawn houses cluster on the left and in the background. Thick smoke plumes toward the upper right, while birdlike forms dot the sky. Below the center arch stands a tiny figure. The print displays textured, uneven ink application, creating a stark, grainy contrast against the white paper.
