A detailed black and white illustration of a classic steam locomotive with the number 60021 on its front, billowing smoke into the sky as it stands on the tracks. The train is depicted in a realistic style with a dramatic, cloudy sky overhead and industrial structures, including a water tower, in the background. The foreground shows the train's powerful front end with a headlight at the center, and the surrounding environment suggests an urban setting with utility poles and buildings. The artwork is signed by the artist in the lower left corner.
