A horizontally oriented black-and-white photograph depicts a sprawling industrial landscape. In the foreground, rows of freight cars span the scene, one labeled "PENNSYLVANIA 902 160." A massive metal conveyor tower looms centrally over mounds of dark material and smaller cranes. Thin wires stretch across the midground. To the right, a ship releases a trail of dark smoke into the pale sky.
