EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "FREIGHT TRAIN, 1943" takes us back to a snowy March day in 1943 along the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad. The image captures the hustle and bustle of crew changes and cabooses on a westbound freight train between Chicago and Chillicothe, Illinois. Photographed by Jack Delano during his time with the Farm Security Administration (FSA), this snapshot beautifully encapsulates the essence of mid-century American transportation. Against a backdrop of cold winter weather, we see men bundled up in heavy coats working diligently amidst the steam power that propels these massive locomotives forward. The details are striking - from the intricate design of the freight cars to the sturdy presence of each worker. This photo is not just about trains; it tells a story about hard work, resilience, and progress during an era defined by both economic hardship and hope for brighter days ahead. As we gaze at this frozen moment in time captured by Delano's lens, we can't help but appreciate how far we've come since then. It serves as a reminder of our nation's rich history built upon innovation and determination. So let us honor those who paved the way for modern transportation systems while acknowledging that there is still much more ground to cover on our journey towards progress.
