This photo has been identified as a rail yard. In the foreground, there is a fence with material stacked along it on the ground, a break in the fence and two additional fence posts, the first one with a sign posted on it. The middle-ground shows four lines and a cable over a barn-like structure with windows and a large central door. Material is stacked underneath the far window. A large truck is backed up beneath a large wooden bin. A man dressed in dark clothing with his arms crossed faces the truck. A man in a white shirt can be seen facing another man who is blocked from view except for a small portion of his hat, and another man in a hat has his left arm extended along his side. A fourth man appears to be standing on the hopper car labeled PNL (Paducah & Louisville). A second wooden bin setup can be seen on the other side of the PNL hopper car parallel to a second hopper car. Two men in hats are standing just right of center in the photo. An early model car is parked next to a hopper car parked with the letters N & W (Norfolk & Western). There is a pile of what has been identified as clay tile on the right. The background of the image shows a field, a line of buildings, and trees.
