Title taken from inscription on recto. The Orange and Alexandria railroad bridge on the right is of military construction and was constructed using prefabricated segments known as "shad-belly" trusses. A soldier stands on the left bank and another sits on a tree bent out over the water. Three soldiers stand on the opposite side. A two-story block house stands guard on the hill on the right side of the image. Inscription on verso: "Faux."
