Each of the wagons, filled with beats, are attached to four horses. Attached to the traction engine are three cars carrying full loads of sugar beats. Several workers are sitting on or standing on the sugar beats while several others lounge on the locomotive. Two stacked wicker baskets lay on the dirt floor (foreground). Trees are visible in the distance.
