EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph from the Granger Collection takes us back to the early 1920s, showcasing an iconic oil locomotive used by the Times Oil Company. The image captures a moment in time when America's railroad industry played a crucial role in transporting essential resources across the country. The scene unfolds at a bustling railroad station in the Northeast, where hardworking African American men are seen diligently loading tanks of oil onto a New York Central Railroad train. These dedicated workers play a vital role in ensuring that this precious cargo reaches its destination safely and efficiently. The sheer size and power of the locomotive dominate the frame, symbolizing progress and industrialization during this era. Its sleek design is juxtaposed against the ruggedness of both its surroundings and those who operate it. This photograph not only documents an important chapter in American history but also highlights the contributions made by African Americans within industries that were often dominated by others. It serves as a reminder of their resilience, skill, and determination to succeed despite facing numerous challenges during this time period. As we gaze upon this remarkable print, we are transported back to an era defined by innovation, hard work, and progress – all encapsulated within one powerful image captured by The Granger Collection.
