Taken in early September, this view shows a crowd gathered in front of Grand Central Station in New York as travelers returned from their summer vacations. The record dates it to September 8, 1908, several years before the present Grand Central Terminal opened on the same site in 1913, when the older depot handled the city's busy rail traffic. Bain News Service, the photo agency run by George Grantham Bain, made pictures like this for newspapers, so the scene captures the everyday rush of a major terminal at the end of summer.
