While the scene is reminiscent of the often reproduced Fred Jukes tree photograph, the background is pure Coxo.

Artistic license in play here, Weston, the Diamond-stacks have gone but the angle of and consist is the same, right down to the #417.

I can't find a matching Juke photo for that train at taken at Coxo, maybe Fred Jukes did make it that far out of town for another photo?
