Summary
View looking under an iron bridge across a low marshy river bank, with railroad tracks on the right leading back toward the horizon. Standing next to one of the concrete bridge abutments on the left are two men warming themselves by a small campfire. Beyond is a windswept landscape with an industrial complex visible in the far distance.
