A steam engine rolls into the scene from the right pushing a large snowplow to clear snow from the tracks. A figure wearing an upturned collar and hat stands in the doorway of the yellow snowplow-car and looks back towards the train. A red structure is positioned on the right behind a telephone pole that rises out of the composition at top-right.
