DescriptionCurved brick railroad building, with arched double wooden doors, separated by what appear to be iron columns. The doors are numbered "2" through "20". Railroad tracks lead to each door. A crane in the foreground with cables and pulleys is apparently being used to excavate a large hole. Wooden stairs lead down at the left. A pile of dirt is in the left foreground. A wooden shed is at the right.
