Image of a railroad depot in Vicksburg, Mississippi, showing the Richmond & Danville RR, and the Louisville & Nashville line. Rail junction where several spurs come together into the mail line also visible. In the middle of the image, a blurred train and puff of smoke indicate a train is in motion down the mail line. The box cars on the spurs have the letters USMRR [United States Military Rail Road]. Note the snow on the roves of buildings and on the ground.
