EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph by Jack Delano captures a significant moment in American history during the 1940s. The image showcases a row of locomotives lined up at the coaling station in the 40th Street yard of the Chicago and North Western Railroad (C & NW RR) in Chicago, Illinois. As World War II raged on, these powerful machines were being prepared for their crucial role in transporting essential supplies across the country. The vibrant colors bring this scene to life, highlighting the hustle and bustle of activity as workers load coal, sand, and water onto each locomotive. This meticulous process ensured that these iron giants would be fueled and ready to embark on their arduous journeys ahead. Delano's photograph not only documents an important aspect of transportation during wartime but also serves as a testament to America's industrial might. The railway system played a vital role in supporting both military operations and civilian needs during this tumultuous period. As we gaze upon this still image frozen in time, we are reminded of the dedication and hard work that went into keeping America moving forward amidst adversity. It is through photographs like these that we can appreciate our nation's rich heritage and pay homage to those who contributed to its progress.
