Erie R.R. Locomotives Watering

Detailed etching of a bustling industrial scene with workers operating and maintaining large steam locomotives at a railroad yard. Thick plumes of smoke rise from the engines, filling the upper part of the composition, while the workers are engaged in various tasks on the ground and atop the machinery, highlighting the industrial activity and mechanical complexity of the era.
