Depot and Train

Image

View down railroad tracks of a train arriving at the Brooklyn depot. A man in a suit with a briefcase stands on the platform. Standing near the tracks by the Farmers' Mutual Benefit and Trading Company building, a man holds a flag used to signal the train conductor to stop at this flag-stop depot. A young boy is seen through a window standing in a small train building in the foreground.
