EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1943, capturing a slice of history in Bagdad, California. The image showcases the railroad station located on the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad between Needles and Barstow. Renowned photographer Jack Delano skillfully composed this shot in March of that year. The station building stands proudly against the backdrop of a rural landscape. Its sturdy structure exudes an air of resilience and permanence amidst its surroundings. Adjacent to it, we see a freight car parked on the railroad track, symbolizing the bustling transportation network that connected communities across America during this era. Delano's keen eye also captures other elements that define life in mid-20th century California. Powerlines stretch across the sky while telephone poles stand tall as symbols of connectivity and progress. These utilities were essential for both communication and powering locomotives that traversed these tracks. As we gaze at this photograph, we are transported back to a time when railroads played a vital role in shaping American society - facilitating trade, connecting people from different regions, and fueling economic growth. This image serves as a testament to both Delano's artistic vision and the significance of railroads within our nation's history.
