What the image shows
A sepia photograph, mounted on a grey card, of a small steam locomotive on a railway track with fuel wood stacked high on its front and rear decks. Six or seven men in work clothes stand beside the engine on the gravel trackbed, one seated on a pile of planks at the right, and a wooden fence and flat open ground stretch behind it under a pale sky. The engine's side has a faint lettered plate near the cab, but the words are not legible.Described automatically by a vision model; may contain mistakes.
