EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Jack Delano captures a slice of American history during the Second World War. Taken in Melrose, New Mexico in 1943, it showcases a Santa Fe R. R. train chugging through the picturesque countryside. The image exudes a sense of nostalgia and regionalism, transporting viewers back to an era when railroads were vital for transportation and trade. The vibrant colors and attention to detail bring this still image to life. The billowing smoke from the locomotive adds drama to the scene, while the tracks disappearing into the distance symbolize progress and endless possibilities. The exterior of the train is adorned with Atchison Topeka Santa Fe Railway (ATSF) branding, representing one of America's most iconic railroad companies. Delano's composition not only highlights the beauty of rural life but also serves as a testament to America's resilience during wartime. This photograph was taken under the auspices of government agencies such as Farm Security Administration (FSA) and Office of War Information (OWI), which aimed to document various aspects of American society during this critical period. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Heritage Art collection at Congressional Library, we are reminded that photographs have an incredible ability to transport us across time and space. They allow us to connect with our past, appreciate our present, and contemplate our future.
