The image shows a general view of the Mt. Ida wall in Newtonville, Newton, Massachusetts. A stone retaining wall is visible alongside a railway line, with flatbed cars and a small train engine emitting smoke. There are also utility poles running parallel to the tracks. Several figures can be seen standing on top of the wall and near the tracks. Debris and construction materials are scattered around the site.
