A box car is partially visible on a parallel track to the right of the tender. Another box car is partially visible on another track, to the left, and slightly ahead of the engine. A water tank may be seen behind the engine and box cars. The number 1258 is written on a label that has been stuck to the lower left corner of the slide.
