DescriptionA horse-drawn wagon loaded with hay is parked in front of the L.B. Putney Wholesale Grocer at 107 East Railroad Avenue in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Six men are standing on the porch and two more sit near a boxcar on the siding next to the building.

Railroad Avenue's name was changed around 1908 to what is now Central Avenue. Central Avenue also overlaps with the historic Route 66.

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