A Texas and Pacific locomotive is depicted in this mural. There is an Engineer and a Fireman in the cab, while a cowboy on horseback is handing them a bottled drink. The train stretches up a hill behind the engine. A church sits along the tracks, and a child is sitting on the steps of the church with a dog at his feet. There is also a small shed with possibly a car inside. Behind the engine is the water tower. Near the front of the engine another cowboy is seated on a wood barrel.
