The picture

A red-brick railroad depot with a curved, gabled entrance arch lettered BELOIT and a square clock tower; a long covered platform runs back along the tracks, where a steam locomotive approaches. Crowds of passengers in white stand under the arch and along the platform. An open touring car with two men in caps is at left; two men in suits walk away from the viewer across the brick-paved crossing, near a crossing-gate mast; at right a stone wall, trees and a tall chimney.
