Below it sit three pop bumpers with glossy blue caps printed white five-pointed stars and red-and-white striped skirts, and a red-and-white striped circus tent with a gold bell. A grey stone arched tunnel mouth labelled 'TUNNEL POINTS' fills the middle, its keystone carrying an oval nameplate.

| Kind | Description |
|---|---|
| Man | One bearded adult man, foreground centre-left, cream wide-brimmed hat, purple waistcoat over striped shirt, brown trousers, purple boots and gaiters, leaning forward with arm raised swinging a pick or hammer at the ground beside the rails |
| Vehicle | Giant black and purple steam locomotive head-on, gold-framed square headlamp with round glass lens, tall flared smokestack, round dark blue boiler front ringed with bolts, red slatted cowcatcher, running on diagonal rails |
| Vehicle | Smaller yellow and blue steam loco with red trim pulling a line of brown and cream coaches leftwards across a grey trestle bridge in the mid-background |
A wide illustrated backglass in an ornate black-and-grey filigree border. Across the upper left a huge diagonal logo reads LOCOMOTIVE in heavy red block capitals, each letter trailing a curling cream-and-yellow plume of steam that climbs to the upper right. Behind the logo the sky is deep blue with a dark maroon smoke cloud, orange fireball, yellow lightning bolts and white stars. The centre-right is dominated by a giant black and purple steam locomotive seen head-on: a gold-framed square headlamp with a glass lens, a tall flared smokestack, a round dark-blue boiler door ringed with bolts, and a red cowcatcher over rails that run diagonally to the lower right. Behind it to the left a smaller yellow-and-blue loco pulls coaches across a grey trestle bridge, with a snow-capped mountain at far left and dark green pines on the right hillside. One figure: a bearded man in a cream hat, purple waistcoat, striped shirt, brown trousers and purple boots, leaning forward swinging a pick or hammer beside the track. American-flag shields frame four player number windows (1, 2, 3, 4) and a highest-score and credit window on the right.
