Section Crew of the Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul and Pacific R. R. . . Bensenville, Illinois, 1943
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this aerial view captured by Jack Delano in 1943, we are transported back to a time when the American railway system was at its peak. The image showcases a dedicated section crew of the Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul and Pacific Railroad hard at work in Bensenville, Illinois. Dressed in their distinctive railroad attire - a symbol of pride and professionalism - these men embody the spirit of an era defined by industriousness and determination. With their sleeves rolled up and tools in hand, they tirelessly maintain the railway tracks that connect cities across America. The vibrant colors bring life to this still image as it highlights not only the workers but also the freight train nearby. A testament to America's thriving transportation industry during wartime. As we gaze upon this photograph from Jack Delano's collection housed within the Library of Congress' Farm Security Administration archives, we can't help but feel a sense of nostalgia for a time when railroads were vital arteries pumping life into our country's veins. This print serves as a reminder of our rich heritage – one that was built on sweat and steel – as well as an homage to those unsung heroes who kept America moving forward during challenging times.
