EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by Jack Delano in 1943, transports us back to a pivotal moment in American history. The image showcases the iconic Santa Fe R. R. streamliner, known as the "Super Chief" being meticulously serviced at the bustling depot in Albuquerque, New Mexico. In this snapshot frozen in time, we witness the efficient maintenance routine of these diesel streamliners that remarkably took only five minutes to complete. A group of dedicated men can be seen attending to various tasks with utmost precision and expertise. Their commitment to ensuring smooth operations is evident as they work diligently around the locomotive. The backdrop of this scene reveals a glimpse into life during World War II - an era marked by resilience and unity. As war efforts were underway across the country, transportation played a vital role in connecting people and resources. The Santa Fe R. R. , part of Atchison Topeka Santa Fe Railway (ATSF), served as a lifeline for many Americans during those challenging times. Jack Delano's masterful composition captures not only the technical aspects but also highlights human involvement within this industrial setting. This photograph serves as a testament to both technological advancements and individual dedication that propelled America forward during one of its most transformative periods. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of heritage art preserved by the Library of Congress' Farm Security Administration (FSA) collection, it reminds us of our nation's rich railroad history while honoring those who worked tirelessly behind-the-scenes to keep America moving forward on its tracks towards progress.
