EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Jack Delano captures a moment frozen in time during the Second World War. The image showcases a Santa Fe R. R. train making a crucial stop for coal and water in Laguna, New Mexico, 1943. As the locomotive halts against the picturesque backdrop of the American countryside, billows of smoke rise from its engine, creating an atmosphere that epitomizes both power and resilience. Delano's keen eye for detail is evident as he skillfully portrays not only the train but also its surroundings. The rural landscape stretches out into the distance, revealing vast plateaus and untouched beauty that define this region of America. This photograph serves as a testament to regionalism and rural life during this pivotal era. The attire worn by individuals on board reflects the fashion clothing of the 1940s, providing insight into daily life at that time. It is clear that maintenance is underway as workers diligently tend to refueling tasks while others pause momentarily to observe their surroundings. Preserved within this still image lies not just a snapshot of transportation history but also a glimpse into an important chapter in American heritage. Through his lens, Delano has captured more than just a train; he has immortalized an emblematic symbol of fortitude amidst wartime challenges.
