To the left of the structure, a large ramp composed of crossbeams is visible. At the center of the ramp, a wheeled mine cart can be seen moving down the ramp to the left. At the top of the ramp, a single person can be seen standing beneath a small roofed-structure. At center, a jumble of wooden beams and rails can be seen composing the main body of the apparatus. Near the center, a long ladder is visible connecting the base of the device to the platforms at its top. To the right, additional wooden poles stand near a group of utility poles.
