Two passenger trains of the Colorado Central Railroad, Engine No. 12 and a Porter engine, are stopped on the tracks in front of the station at Forks Creek in Clear Creek County, Colorado. A group of people, including several conductors, stands on the platform in front of the lunch room with a sign "Refreshments." Suitcases and rocks with graffiti are near the tracks; Clear Creek, a water tank, and wood bridge are in the background.
