Carl in Longmont, Colorado says this looks like me.
This illustration is from the "winter" collection by artist Yuzuriha Satoshi in Tokyo, Japan. This illustration entitled "Koshu Kaido / Inume" shows a stop along the old "Koshu Highway."
Satoshi-san is probably a randonneur. Many of his prints illustrate what a long distance cyclist may see while riding.
In his cyclist gallery and his seen gallery, Satoshi follows the Haiku tradition of splitting his illustrations into seasons: Spring 春, Summer 夏, Autumn 秋 and Winter 冬. Go take a look -- it's good stuff.
Chris @ Velo Orange just told me he posted about this also.

I know this is modern, not ukiyo-e nor manga, but like both of those these have a great sense of line. Something is perfect when there is nothing left to remove.

The second picture reminds me of a clueless commuter about to meet Caltrain. Not very safety oriented.
I must apologize to Chris, in that I neglected to give him credit for being the post where I saw them first.
Thanks for the comments all and I'm glad you like that gallery.
@Steve: The title (in Japanese) of the rail picture is "Abandoned Rail," so probably safer than it looks.

Yes, it looks like you and when I held the laptop up to my ear, I could hear the faint rumble of your voice, like when you listen to a sea shell and hear the far off rush of the surf. And there was just a whiff of Febreze.
