EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Jack Delano takes us back to the Santa Fe R. R. tie plant in Albuquerque, New Mexico, during the tumultuous year of 1943. The image showcases the intricate process involved in manufacturing railroad ties, an essential component of the country's transportation infrastructure during World War II. Delano's lens captures a scene filled with industrial activity and natural beauty. The ties, carefully crafted from pine and fir, are seasoned for eight months before being treated with creosote in large retorts. The steaming black ties at the center of the frame have just completed this crucial preservation process. The scale of production at this plant is truly impressive; it has a monthly capacity of 100,000 ties but currently produces 80,000 per month to support wartime demands. This photograph not only highlights the importance of rail transport during this era but also serves as a testament to American industry and ingenuity. Through his lens, Delano brings attention to both human-made structures and nature's contribution to our daily lives. As we admire this image from over seven decades ago, we can't help but appreciate how transportation systems like railways played a vital role in connecting communities across America during times of war. Jack Delano's work for the Farm Security Administration and Office of War Information provides us with invaluable glimpses into America's past while preserving its heritage for future generations to appreciate.
