There is a pile of wheat that is burning on the side of the tracks. There are a few people standing in the smoke and the others are sitting on the tracks. In one set of the railroad tracks and in between the other set of railroad tracks are bags of wheat. At the end of the one set of railroad tracks is a railroad car. Alongside the tracks are telephone poles.
