One-story, wood-frame storefronts are in front of the Denver and Rio Grande railroad tracks in the prairie town of Baldy, Colorado, in Costilla County. Women wearing dresses and aprons stand in front of the buildings. Bundles are piled next to the train tracks or sit in carts and wagons hitched to horses. Men stand on a large pile of hay in a horse- drawn cart. Telegraph posts are visible throughout the community. Brush grows next to the railroad tracks in the foreground.
