Per Joe Sonderman: “July 11, 1937 – Thousands of people celebrated the opening of the Central Avenue underpass in at the Santa Fe Railroad in Albuquerque. The ceremonies had just ended when a downpour sent spectators running for cover. The ceremony was attended by Governor Clyde Tingley of New Mexico and Governor EW Marland of Oklahoma.”
