DescriptionA group of football players and others stand along a railing at the Albuquerque, New Mexico train station. There are two figures in the center. Red Grange (center left), football player for the Chicago Bears, wears a light-colored double-breasted suit and striped tie. His hands rest on a football which is on top of the railing and wears a ring. He is looking into a crowed. The other figure, a young man at the center right of the photograph, wears a V-neck sweater with a large NM at the chest. He wears a collared shirt and tie beneath and smiles at Red Grange. Men in suits stand behind them, including Mayor Clyde Tingley, second from far right. A young boy hangs onto the other side of the railing and looks up at the men.
