On the left is a tall, simple, two wire, old style telephone pole attached to other poles leading off into the distance on the right. Also on the right are railroad tracks leading to the distance; they are apparent to run side-by-side. On the near center, but just left to it -on a railroad siding line of tracks is an old era 4-4-0 configuration steam locomotive. It's got a straight cylinder style smokestack emitting slightly visible black smoke into a very large & very blue sky. There are but a few small, low lying clouds present. There's a fairly good sized growth of deciduous trees in a clump off to the side of the main railroad tracks but they're not at all tall enough to reach the two telephone wires. The main railroad line tracks leads of on the very lower left of the composition into an invisible point of infinity. There's a white, tiny, distant railroad crossing sign next to the narrowing tracks, as well. The very, very distant horizon is comprised of barely visible mountains -and the tracks are headed straight towards them. In this entire horizontal composition only the telephone pole on the left and the starkly blue sky are tall. They dominate the scene & landscape.
