View of a group of men gathered around two train cars on the Loudoun and Hampshire Railroad that have become detached from the rest of the train. The derailed front car tilts forward as the rest of the train cars sit farther up the tracks in the background. Several men gather at the back of the train car, as a smaller group sit on a small slope beside the tracks.
