About this work
A hand-colored lithograph shows a black steam locomotive with a brass dome and bell pulling a coal tender at night, with two crew members visible in the cab and sparks and steam billowing across the tracks. A distant train approaches along the line under a glowing signal light, and this 1884 print by Currier & Ives is titled The Danger Signal.
