DescriptionTen men and two boys stand on the wooden platform outside of the Santa Fe Railway Depot in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The two-story wooden depot has doorways leading to the men's waiting room and the women's waiting room. There is a two-story double bay window between the wiating room doorways. A sign hanging outward from the side of the building reads, "Albuquerque" and a second sign posted above the ladies waiting room sign reads, "El Paso 253.7 Miles / Silver City 278.2 Miles / Albuquerque / Atchison 902.4 Miles / Kansas City 918.4 Miles".

Emulsion deterioration is occurring on the glass plate causing distortion and emulsion loss.
