Night Freight: 1943

Santa Fe R.R. yard at night, Kansas City, Kansas. March 1943. 4x5 Kodachrome transparency by Jack Delano. <View full size. to see the light trails made by the yard workers' torches in this time exposure, as well as a phantom number (3167, at right) that must have been on a train that paused in front of the camera.

Oh yes!

I'm surprised that all the shunters are diesel/electric. I would've expected that they would've been the last changed, not the first.

Amazing

Best photo ever.

Fascinating!!!

Fascinating!!!

wow

holy shitakies thats creepy

Phantom Number

The number 3167 was most likely from an engine. The boxcar numbers would not have been that large, and the font is the same as the other engines.
