People at the Denver and Rio Grande Railroad Depot in Salida, Chaffee County, Colorado, include porters in white uniforms, women in flowered hats, and men in suits. The crowd attends a speaker waving his arm. Men sit on the gabled roofs of the depot and the passenger shelter; bicycles lean on a plank fence, and a merchant's wagon reads: "Denver & Rio Grande Express. Freight cars, passenger coaches, buggies, and frame dwellings are in the background.
