EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "RAILROAD YARD, 1943" takes us back in time to witness a significant moment in American history. The image showcases an easternbound train on the verge of departing from the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad yard, ready to embark on its return journey to Vaughn, New Mexico. Photographed by Jack Delano in March 1943 during the era of the New Deal, this snapshot captures the essence of hard work and dedication that defined America's transportation industry at that time. The men visible in the frame are seen diligently carrying out their duties amidst a backdrop of locomotives, freight cars, and railroad tracks. The photograph perfectly encapsulates both the exterior beauty of these mighty machines as well as their functional components such as caboose and cowcatcher. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity and engineering prowess. Delano's lens skillfully freezes this mid-moment scene forever; it is a visual reminder of how railroads were once vital arteries connecting communities across vast distances in the Southwest region. As we gaze upon this historical artifact today, we can't help but appreciate not only its aesthetic value but also its ability to transport us back into an era where hardworking individuals dedicated themselves tirelessly to keeping our nation moving forward.
