Charcoal drawing showing a man and train. The man is placed toward the foreground, and is shown wearing overalls and a conductor's hat. He is beckoning out of frame to the left, presumably to the engine car. Two train cars are in frame, both bearing the inscription, "CENTRAL VERMONT," in white paint. The cars are flat-topped, sideless freight cars and appear to be holding lumber. Evergreen trees and two mountains can be seen in the distance.Type of Drawing
