Thirteen small windows are visible on the side of the car. Below the windows, the words "Maryland-Virginia" are barely visible. At the front of the car, five windows span the frontal face. Above these windows, a small banner reads: "Maryland Special". At the top of the car, a large metallic rod extends to a group of wires. Below the windows, a large cylinder protrudes from the face of the car, and a large grill is seen near the floor. At the bottom of the car, four wheels can be seen from the side supporting the vehicle. To the left, a group of people can be seen standing near the hotel car. In the background to the left, a group of utility poles and wires are seen. In the background to the right, a few buildings are visible.
