There is a curved repaired tear (approx. 3 cm long) associated with a spot of retouching visible under UV light to the yellow pigment below the train. There are a few smaller dots of retouching visible under UV light in places. There are two stretcher bar marks running horizontally across the center of the composition. There is some frame rubbing associated with a few paint losses along the extreme edges. There are two pinholes to the centre of the wheel. There are a few scattered fly spots.
