A surreal painting featuring a railway signal with a yellow arm on the left, a large green arrow pointing right with a red circle around it in the center, and a steam locomotive emerging from a rocky outcrop on the right. In the background, there's a sign reading "ENOUGH TO TURN MARS SOLD BY NOBLAC" and a pastoral landscape under a blue sky with clouds.
