EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, captured by Jack Delano in 1943, transports us back to the bustling Santa Fe R. R. shops in Albuquerque, New Mexico during the Second World War. The image showcases a skilled blue-collar worker hammering out a draw bar on the steam drop hammer inside the blacksmith shop. Amidst the backdrop of construction and maintenance activities, this dedicated man embodies the spirit of hard work and craftsmanship that defined America's industrial era. With his sleeves rolled up and focused expression, he epitomizes resilience and determination. The photo provides a glimpse into an important chapter of American history when railroads played a vital role in transportation across the country. The Atchison Topeka Santa Fe Railway (ATSF) was renowned for its extensive network connecting various regions of America. Delano's lens captures not only this individual at work but also offers insight into daily life within these railway yards. The still image evokes nostalgia for an era when manual labor was integral to progress and development. Preserved by the Library of Congress' Farm Security Administration (FSA), this heritage art piece serves as a testament to both Delano's artistic prowess and his documentation of significant historical moments. As we admire this photograph today, it reminds us to appreciate those who labored tirelessly behind-the-scenes to keep our nation moving forward during challenging times.
