Description:
Watercolor of a night scene depicting a train loaded with cargo in red and yellow intermodal containers. It seemingly speeds through the dark on a twisting track that carries it from right to the left and then right again. Three trees are silhouetted against the darkness. The train emits a glow in the moonless night. Handwritten on the reverse reads: "Study for Nights Freight."
