A black steam locomotive pulling four maroon passenger carriages crosses a tall weathered grey stone viaduct over a deep autumn river valley in the soft light of early morning. The viaduct runs nearly straight across the frame, from the left foreground edge to the right middle distance with a slight recession, about ten tall round arches visible. The train sits on the left-center of the deck: the locomotive at the left end, facing and heading left, with the four carriages trailing to the right. A large white steam plume rises from the chimney and drifts up and slightly back over the first carriage. Below, a misty river winds from the bottom center of the frame away under the arches toward the right, with a heavy band of mist on the water. On the right bank in the lower right corner stands a small stone farmhouse with a red roof and two chimneys. Both hillsides are covered with orange, red, gold, and green autumn trees. Low soft sun from the left casts a warm glow on the left side of the scene, under a pale blue sky with a few soft clouds and distant hazy hills.
