EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "RAILROAD YARD, 1943" takes us back in time to the Atchison, Topeka, and Santa Fe Railroad yard in Needles, California. Captured by photographer Jack Delano in March 1943, this image showcases the bustling activity of a mid-century railroad yard. The scene is filled with men diligently working amidst an array of locomotives and freight cars. The steam power emanating from the trains adds a sense of energy and movement to the photograph. It's evident that this was a place where hard work and dedication were paramount. Located in San Bernardino County, California, this railroad yard played a crucial role in transportation during that era. As part of President Roosevelt's New Deal initiative, it symbolizes progress and economic development for the West. Delano's composition beautifully captures both the exterior landscape surrounding the rail yard as well as its inner workings. The intricate network of railroad tracks creates an organized chaos that reflects the importance of efficient transportation systems during this period. This print serves as a visual testament to America's industrial past - reminding us of how vital railroads were for connecting communities across vast distances. It allows us to appreciate not only the physical labor involved but also highlights how these workers contributed to shaping our nation's history through their dedication and hard work.
