Santa Fe R. R. Yard, Gallup, New Mexico, 1943 - A Glimpse into America's Railway Legacy during World War II
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print by Jack Delano takes us back to the bustling Santa Fe R. R. yard in Gallup, New Mexico in 1943. As an esteemed photographer for the Farm Security Administration and the Office of War Information, Delano skillfully captures a pivotal moment in American history. In this vividly colored image, we see a train carriage parked on tracks within the expansive railway yard. The compartment exudes a sense of nostalgia with its classic design and vibrant exterior paintwork representing Atchison Topeka Santa Fe Railway (ATSF). This visual masterpiece showcases not only Delano's artistic talent but also his ability to document significant aspects of American culture. During World War II, rail transportation played a crucial role in supporting military efforts across the country. The Santa Fe R. R. yard served as a vital hub for transporting troops, supplies, and equipment to various destinations throughout the United States. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of how railways were instrumental in shaping America's war effort during this tumultuous period. Delano's work has been preserved by the Library of Congress and is now part of our heritage art collection. Through this still image frozen in time, we are transported back to an era when trains symbolized progress and unity amidst challenging times.
