Four steam engines, all with steam coming from their stacks, may be seen waiting adjacent to each other in the yard of the Milwaukee Railroad. Coal tender 4380 and its engine are coupled in reverse to tender 4378 and its engine. Shop buildings are visible behind the engines. A boy, wearing knickers, white shirt and a cap is standing to the left of the tracks. The number 1277-a is written on a label that has been stuck to the lower left corner of the slide.
