This is a sketch or drawing depicting a railway environment. The focus is on a series of converging train tracks that lead toward a tunnel or underpass. There are utility poles on both sides of the tracks, adding to the industrial feel of the scene. The drawing employs perspective to give a sense of depth, with the tracks appearing to converge in the distance at the tunnel's entrance. On the lower edge of the drawing, there is a handwritten date, "1940," and what appears to be a signature "Ralston Crawford," suggesting the name of the artist who created the sketch. The drawing style is somewhat minimalistic, with an emphasis on lines and form over intricate detail. There is shading used to suggest the different planes and surfaces, with the apparent use of perhaps charcoal or a similar medium on tan paper. The utility poles and their crossbeams create grid-like patterns on the upper part of the composition, adding to the structured, geometric quality of the work.
