EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph from 1970 showcases the historic roundhouse in Martinsburg, West Virginia. The image captures the essence of a bygone era when railroads were at the heart of American industry and transportation. The roundhouse, standing tall against the backdrop of a late afternoon sky, exudes an air of power and grandeur. Its sturdy brick walls tell stories of countless locomotives that once called this place home. The railroad tracks leading to and from the roundhouse symbolize the extensive network that connected towns and cities across America. In this snapshot, we witness not only a physical structure but also a glimpse into West Virginia's rich history as a hub for railway operations in the Southeast region. The powerline stretching above adds another layer to this narrative, reminding us of how electricity revolutionized transportation during this time. Photographed by Granger in 1970, this image is a testament to their skill in capturing moments frozen in time. It serves as both an artistic representation and historical documentation of an important aspect of American culture. As we admire this print today, let it transport us back to an era where steam engines roared through these tracks with purposeful determination - forever etching themselves into our collective memory as icons of progress and innovation.
