Horizontal, black and white photograph showing three men on the back of a steam switch engine in a rail yard. Two of the men stand on a running board, while the third is perched on a rail or pipe. One man may be the conductor, as he wears a uniform hat and a suit, while the other two men wear workmen's clothing. A headlight is at the top of a short ladder, and coal piled in the bunker can be seen behind it. A plume of smoke billows away from the train. Several railroad tracks criss-cross in the background. A handwritten note on the back of the print, probably from the School Sisters of Notre D
