Porters and a crowd gather at the entrance of Grand Central Station in New York, a detail that places the picture at one of the city's busiest rail gateways. The image comes from the George Grantham Bain Collection, a body of glass negatives made by the Bain News Service, a commercial photo agency that supplied pictures to newspapers in the early twentieth century. Grand Central was then a major hub for passenger travel, and its porters, who handled luggage for arriving and departing travelers, were a familiar part of daily station life. The record's title comes from unverified caption data, so the exact date and the specific moment shown are not confirmed.
