The image shows a black and white photograph of an old wooden sign that reads "Arlington Ferry" with the additional information stating, "Save 100 mi. to Seattle." The sign is mounted on two posts in what appears to be rural or semi-rural setting with train tracks running underneath it. In the background, there's a fence and barren hills stretching into the distance under an overcast sky. To the right side of the image, there's handwriting that reads "81320-4," which might suggest a cataloging number for archival purposes or documentation. The overall scene suggests this sign is located on transportation outskirts of a small town in Oregon near the Columbia River, possibly pointing travelers towards ferry services to avoid longer distances when traveling by road from Arlington to Seattle.
