EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in American history during the Second World War. Taken by Jack Delano in 1943, it depicts a flagman standing resolutely behind his train at a small siding between Laguna and Gallup, New Mexico. As oncoming trains approach, he diligently waves his flag to ensure their safe passage. The image showcases the vital role played by railway workers during this tumultuous time. With the Atchison Topeka Santa Fe Railway (ATSF) serving as a lifeline for transportation and logistics across the country, this flagman's duty was crucial in maintaining order and preventing accidents on the tracks. Delano's use of color adds depth and vibrancy to this rural scene. The picturesque countryside serves as a backdrop to highlight both the beauty of America's landscapes and its resilience during wartime. This photograph is part of Delano's extensive collection commissioned by government agencies such as the Farm Security Administration (FSA) and Office of War Information (OWI). It stands as an enduring testament to regionalism and rural life in mid-20th century America. Preserved within the Library of Congress' Congressional Library archives, this image offers viewers a glimpse into an era defined by sacrifice, patriotism, and hard work. It reminds us that even amidst global conflict, ordinary individuals like this flagman played extraordinary roles in shaping our nation's destiny.
