EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Jack Delano in 1943, we witness the blue-collar grit and determination of John Sabados as he washes up after a long day's work at the rip tracks in Proviso yard of the Chicago and North Western Railroad (C & NW RR) in Chicago, Illinois. As a symbol of hardworking Americans during World War II, Sabados represents the countless men who dedicated themselves to keeping the country's transportation system running smoothly. The image showcases an intimate moment amidst a bustling railway yard, where Sabados finds solace and cleanliness in an otherwise chaotic environment. With his sleeves rolled up and hands immersed in a basin filled with water, he takes pride not only in his job but also in maintaining personal hygiene despite challenging circumstances. Delano's use of color adds depth to this historical snapshot, allowing us to appreciate every detail from the vibrant blue of Sabados' uniform to the worn-out sink that serves as his sanctuary. This photograph is part of Delano's extensive documentation for both the Farm Security Administration (FSA) and Office of War Information (OWI), which aimed to capture America's spirit during wartime. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from our past, it serves as a reminder of resilience and dedication that defined an era. It immortalizes ordinary individuals like John Sabados whose contributions often go unnoticed but are essential threads woven into America's rich tapestry.
