On the right are railroad tracks and trains. There is a patch of open grass just before the tracks, where two signs can be seen in the foreground. One reads "10 Ton" and the other reads "No Parking". There are tall buildings in the background, presumably downtown Roanoke. One building on the left has a flag on the roof. Signed by artist and dated 1995.
