A horizontal black-and-white photograph depicts a railroad crossing intersecting a vast landscape of flat fields beneath a stormy sky. The photograph is taken from a gravel road that is just visible in the bottom left corner of the image; a wooden sing marks the rail road crossing, and a line of telephone lines runs parallel to the tracks. A farm house is visible in the far distance.
