Railroad Cut is an oil study for the finished painting Railroad Cut with Mont Sainte-Victoire (1870, now in Munich). It represents land near Aix-en-Provence sectioned to accommodate railway tracks linking Aix with Rognac; between the banks of earth, a bright red railroad signal is juxtaposed with the medieval tower of the Cathedral of Saint-Sauveur. Railroad Cut is the first painting in which Cézanne addressed the effects of industrial modernism on the Provençal landscape.
