A woman named Penelope stands beside a passing Union Pacific freight train locomotive in what appears to be a desert Southwest setting. She is positioned very close to the massive yellow locomotive, watching it pass with a calm, slightly amused expression while gripping a black metal railing. The wide-angle perspective dramatically emphasizes the enormous scale of the train relative to the observer. The setting appears arid with sparse desert vegetation including what looks like a tamarisk or similar shrub, a concrete walkway, and gravel ballast along the tracks. The photograph captures the raw power and scale of American freight rail in an intimate, adventurous way.
