Gallup: 1943
As we go Galluping along
Gallup is now a busy, all-purpose pit stop on Interstate 40 (and historic Route 66), about halfway between Albuquerque and Flagstaff. Lotsa trucks, lotsa Santa Fe trains, lotsa Western flavor, lotsa nice scenery. But I can't find any Winona (unless you mean Minnesota). Maybe they meant Winslow?
[Maybe you can Google it? - Dave]
Get your kicks
You'll see Amarillo, Gallup, New Mexico
Flagstaff, Arizona, don't forget Winona
Kingman, Barstow, San Bernardino ...
Are the phone lines
... strung on Gallup poles?
On the hill yonder
Evidence of mining activity. Found out coal mining was a big industry with the usual history of labor strife.
Coaling tower?
Guess that's what that is -- were all the freight engines still burning coal east of Winslow in 1943? But passenger engines mostly burned oil -- or maybe all did?
Shorpy.com is a vintage photography site featuring thousands of high-definition images. The site is named after Shorpy Higginbotham, a teenage coal miner who lived 100 years ago. Contact us | Privacy policy | Accessibility Statement | Site © 2025 Shorpy Inc.
