Santa Fe R. R. near Melrose, New Mexico, 1943 - A Glimpse into Rural Life during World War II
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print by Jack Delano takes us back to the year 1943, amidst the turmoil of World War II in America. The image showcases a freight train belonging to the Atchison Topeka Santa Fe Railway (ATSF), chugging along the tracks near Melrose, New Mexico. As smoke billows from its engine and dissipates into the vast countryside, we are transported to a simpler time. The photograph captures not only the impressive machinery of this era but also provides a glimpse into rural life during wartime. The surrounding landscape exudes rustic charm as it stretches out for miles on end. It is a testament to America's rich heritage and regionalism. Delano's keen eye for detail allows us to appreciate every aspect of this scene - from the clothing worn by individuals nearby to the goods being transported on this train. This image serves as an invaluable historical document that sheds light on transportation and trade during this pivotal period in American history. Preserved within the Library of Congress' Farm Security Administration collection, Delano's work stands as a reminder of how war affected all aspects of society - even in remote corners like Melrose, New Mexico. Let us cherish these still images that capture moments frozen in time and allow us to reflect upon our nation's past.
