EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Jack Delano captures a moment in time during the Second World War, specifically in 1943. The image showcases a freight train making a stop at a siding enroute to Gallup, New Mexico, near Laguna. As the locomotive halts for coal and water, it provides us with a glimpse into the vital role that railways played in transporting goods across America. The photograph exudes an air of nostalgia as we witness this scene from the past. The countryside setting adds to its rustic charm, with vast plateaus stretching out behind the train tracks. Delano's use of color brings vibrancy to every element within the frame - from the vibrant blue sky above to the earthy tones of nature below. Through this still image, we are transported back to an era when fashion and clothing styles were distinctively different. The attire worn by people on board reflects their American heritage and serves as a reminder of how society has evolved over time. Preserved within the Library of Congress' collection, this photograph is not just about transportation but also represents regionalism and rural life during that period. It stands as a testament to Delano's talent for capturing moments that tell stories beyond what meets the eye. As we admire this piece of heritage art today, let us appreciate its historical significance and acknowledge those who worked tirelessly behind-the-scenes during wartime to keep our country moving forward.
